1026. Maximum Difference Between Node and Ancestor
题目
Given the root of a binary tree, find the maximum value V for which there exists different nodes A and B where V = |A.val - B.val| and A is an ancestor of B.
(A node A is an ancestor of B if either: any child of A is equal to B, or any child of A is an ancestor of B.)
Example 1:

Input: [8,3,10,1,6,null,14,null,null,4,7,13]
Output: 7
Explanation:
We have various ancestor-node differences, some of which are given below :
|8 - 3| = 5
|3 - 7| = 4
|8 - 1| = 7
|10 - 13| = 3
Among all possible differences, the maximum value of 7 is obtained by |8 - 1| = 7.
Note:
- The number of nodes in the tree is between
2and5000. - Each node will have value between
0and100000.
题目大意
给定二叉树的根节点 root,找出存在于不同节点 A 和 B 之间的最大值 V,其中 V = |A.val - B.val|,且 A 是 B 的祖先。(如果 A 的任何子节点之一为 B,或者 A 的任何子节点是 B 的祖先,那么我们认为 A 是 B 的祖先)
提示:
- 树中的节点数在 2 到 5000 之间。
- 每个节点的值介于 0 到 100000 之间。
解题思路
- 给出一颗树,要求找出祖先和孩子的最大差值。
- DPS 深搜即可。每个节点和其所有孩子的
最大值来自于 3 个值,节点本身,递归遍历左子树的最大值,递归遍历右子树的最大值;每个节点和其所有孩子的最小值来自于 3 个值,节点本身,递归遍历左子树的最小值,递归遍历右子树的最小值。依次求出自身节点和其所有孩子节点的最大差值,深搜的过程中动态维护最大差值即可。

func maxAncestorDiff(root *TreeNode) int { res := 0 dfsAncestorDiff(root, &res) return res } func dfsAncestorDiff(root *TreeNode, res *int) (int, int) { if root == nil { return -1, -1 } leftMax, leftMin := dfsAncestorDiff(root.Left, res) if leftMax == -1 && leftMin == -1 { leftMax = root.Val leftMin = root.Val } rightMax, rightMin := dfsAncestorDiff(root.Right, res) if rightMax == -1 && rightMin == -1 { rightMax = root.Val rightMin = root.Val } *res = max(*res, max(abs(root.Val-min(leftMin, rightMin)), abs(root.Val-max(leftMax, rightMax)))) return max(leftMax, max(rightMax, root.Val)), min(leftMin, min(rightMin, root.Val)) }
