543. Diameter of Binary Tree

Easy

Given the root of a binary tree, return the length of the diameter of the tree.

The diameter of a binary tree is the length of the longest path between any two nodes in a tree. This path may or may not pass through the root.

The length of a path between two nodes is represented by the number of edges between them.

Example 1:

Input: root = [1,2,3,4,5]

Output: 3

Explanation: 3 is the length of the path [4,2,1,3] or [5,2,1,3].

Example 2:

Input: root = [1,2]

Output: 1

Solution

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * function TreeNode(val, left, right) {
 *     this.val = (val===undefined ? 0 : val)
 *     this.left = (left===undefined ? null : left)
 *     this.right = (right===undefined ? null : right)
 * }
 */
/**
 * @param {TreeNode} root
 * @return {number}
 */
var diameterOfBinaryTree = function(root) {
    let diameter = 0

    const diameterOfBinaryTreeUtil = (node) => {
        if (node === null) {
            return 0
        }

        const leftLength = node.left ? 1 + diameterOfBinaryTreeUtil(node.left) : 0
        const rightLength = node.right ? 1 + diameterOfBinaryTreeUtil(node.right) : 0

        diameter = Math.max(diameter, leftLength + rightLength)

        return Math.max(leftLength, rightLength)
    }

    diameterOfBinaryTreeUtil(root)
    return diameter
};

export { diameterOfBinaryTree }
