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

the moral of the story is to find the root correctly and calculate the distance from the rooooooooottttttttttt........

is it a tree problem because there is cycle present like 1 2 2 3, or do i need to learn graph for this

easier then it looks... calc height of each node. then for every node find 2 child with largest height.

Simple dfs problem ...
easy one for beginner...

Happy coding

2 dfs:
Start from any node and find the farthest node (say x), now again do a dfs from x and find the farthest node (say y), the answer is distance between x and y.

Did it using 2-bfs method however was a difficult one as an all new question!

AC in one go!!

using 2 BFS can't do it with DFS acctually idk why xD
