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

@sarthak_1998 bro i was getting the same its due to small memory allocation of declared array.
You are doing a mistake like this : ---->
int arr[2000][2000];
int a = arr[2001] [2000];

You can read one of the answers here.

We can precompute heights of all the sub-trees in an array for faster computation

Just use 2 dfs :)

My code is giving runtime error (SIGSEGV) however it is giving right answer on every test case I tried. Please, someone, help me.

This helped me a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9vjFB7m0PM

Also, SPOJtoolkit has really nice test cases for this problem -- apart from well, the first test case.

take any node as root, start with root to find longest path
and the rest is dfs
AC in one go:)

i have submitted solutions for 2 problems on graphs today. I got NZEC error for both the problems, can someone help me understand why i am getting that error. If you want i can share my code with you.

1 DFS. finally ac in java.

2 dfs operation with tree in adjacency matrix is giving TLE in java. Using BufferedReader. Any suggestion?

@suvro_coder your input is wrong. There are 7 nodes instead of 6. Otherwise it will not add edge from 6 to 7
