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
Nice question --> recursion , must for beginners

The solution from @ktcoder is the easiest and easier to generalize to harder problems.

don't say the solution here!

Very simple solved using bfs twice 0.01s

AC in one go , very simple apply 2 BFS.

@suvro_coder it is because n = 6, hence edges should be 5 but you provided 6 edges. Put n = 7 and you will get your answer.

For Java use BufferedReader for I/O rather than Scanner.

Weak Test Cases:
6
1 2
2 3
3 4
2 5
2 6
6 7

In this test case output should be 4, (4-3-2-6-7) but my accepted solution gives output 3.
Done in 1 dfs.

Try CLCKBAIT after this!

those who are doing it by finding it longest and second longest .! how are you guys are substracting extra value that you have counted ! (considering your dfs does not start from any root)!
