Given a binary tree, find the maximum path sum.
For this problem, a path is defined as any sequence of nodes from some starting node to any node in the tree along the parent-child connections. The path must contain at least one node and does not need to go through the root.
For example:
Given the below binary tree,
1 / \ 2 3
Return 6
.
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* public class TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode left;
* TreeNode right;
* TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
* }
*/
class Solution {
private int maxVal = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
public int maxPathSum(TreeNode root) {
pathSum(root);
return maxVal;
}
public int pathSum(TreeNode root) {
if (root == null){
return 0;
}
int leftSum = Math.max(0, pathSum(root.left));
int rightSum = Math.max(0, pathSum(root.right));
maxVal = Math.max(maxVal, leftSum + rightSum + root.val);
return Math.max(leftSum, rightSum) + root.val;
}
}
