题目:
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
.
分析:
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* public class TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode left;
* TreeNode right;
* TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
* }
*/
class Solution {
int max=Integer.MIN_VALUE;
public int maxPathSum(TreeNode root) {
//给定二叉树,找出其中最大的路径之和
//思路:使用全局变量max记录最大值,分别求左右子树最大之和,之后递归实现
//注意:存在负数,所以需要判断左右孩子是否为负数,如果为负数则返回0
if(root==null) return 0;
backtrace(root);
return max;
}
public int backtrace(TreeNode root){
if(root==null) return 0;
//如果左,右孩子为负数,则为0
int left=Math.max(0,backtrace(root.left));
int right=Math.max(0,backtrace(root.right));
max=Math.max(max,left+root.val+right);
//返回结果
return Math.max(left,right)+root.val;
}
}
