Problem
Given the root
of a binary tree, return the length of the longest consecutive path in the tree.
A consecutive path is a path where the values of the consecutive nodes in the path differ by one. This path can be either increasing or decreasing.
- For example,
[1,2,3,4]
and[4,3,2,1]
are both considered valid, but the path[1,2,4,3]
is not valid.
On the other hand, the path can be in the child-Parent-child order, where not necessarily be parent-child order.
