#124 Binary Tree Maximum Path Sum

Hard Acceptance 0%
description

Problem Description

A path in a binary tree is a sequence of nodes where each pair of adjacent nodes in the sequence has an edge connecting them. A node can only appear in the sequence at most once. Note that the path does not need to pass through the root. The path sum of a path is the sum of the node's values in the path. Given the `root` of a binary tree, return the maximum path sum of any non-empty path.

checklist Constraints

The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 3 * 10^4].
-1000 <= Node.val <= 1000

science Examples

Case #1

In: root = [1,2,3]
Out: 6

Case #2

In: root = [-10,9,20,null,null,15,7]
Out: 42
