PT07Z - Longest path in a tree

You are given an unweighted, undirected tree. Write a program to output the length of the longest path (from one node to another) in that tree. The length of a path in this case is number of edges we traverse from source to destination.

Input

The first line of the input file contains one integer N --- number of nodes in the tree (0 < N <= 10000). Next N-1 lines contain N-1 edges of that tree --- Each line contains a pair (u, v) means there is an edge between node u and node v (1 <= u, v <= N).

Output

Print the length of the longest path on one line.

Example

Input:
3
1 2
2 3

Output:
2

AC in one go, applied 2 bfs, took a while to type the code in java though
2017-08-19 17:19:19
use bfs then dfs (dynammic programming)

Can anyone please tell how to handle this test case:
3
1 2
1 3
2 4

The question specifies N-1 lines will be input,but in this test case there are N lines.

Simple Double DFS!

@anuraag19 spoj won't allow us to see your solution.use some other platform to share your code.

dfs + memorization ;)

Solved using single DFS, this helped : https://cptalks.quora.com/Diameter-of-a-Tree

@prashant2018 How to see the test cases? Aren't they hidden?

Some of the answer in SPOJ toolkit are wrong, so verify on your own
