[Leetcode] [Java] Binary Tree Maximum Path Sum

Title:

Given a binary tree, find the maximum path sum.

The path may start and end at any node in the tree.

For example:
Given the below binary tree,

       1      /      2   3

Return 6 .

Test Instructions:

Given a binary tree, find the maximum path and.

The starting and ending positions of a path can be any node in the tree.

Like what

Given a binary tree as follows

       1      /      2   3

return 6 .

Algorithm Analysis:

1) recursively solve this problem

2) Get largest left sum and right sum

3) Compare to the stored maximum

* Here's a place to figure out, the shortest path result has four possible, current plus left, current plus right, current self, current plus left and right subtree return value

* and return value, there are three possible, current plus left, current plus right, the current self.

* Here return is not the current subtree, that is, the left and right add up ... Because it is only a road, it does not meet the requirements of the topic.

* Here, the return value of the function is defined as the longest path from the root to the child node with its own root
