題目
A path in a binary tree is a sequence of nodes where each pair of adjacent nodes in the sequence has an edge connecting them. A node can only appear in the sequence at most once. Note that the path does not need to pass through the root.
The path sum of a path is the sum of the node's values in the path.
Given the root of a binary tree, return the maximum path sum of any non-empty path.
Example 1:
Input: root = [1,2,3] Output: 6 Explanation: The optimal path is 2 -> 1 -> 3 with a path sum of 2 + 1 + 3 = 6.
Example 2:
Input: root = [-10,9,20,null,null,15,7] Output: 42 Explanation: The optimal path is 15 -> 20 -> 7 with a path sum of 15 + 20 + 7 = 42.
Constraints:
- The number of nodes in the tree is in the range
[1, 3 * 104]. -1000 <= Node.val <= 1000
題目給定一顆二元樹，我們要找到一條路徑（path）且能讓該路徑上所有節點值達到最大。在這條路徑中，可以不包含根節點（root）。
解題思路
DFS（深度優先搜索）
要遍歷一顆樹，最常見的方法之一就是深度優先搜索（DFS）。但這題由於需要找到一條路徑（path）來讓加總值達到最大，所以需要在 DFS 的遞迴函式中做三件事：
- 左右節點的 DFS 函式返回值若小於 0（因為節點可能為負值，所以底下節點的加總值可能為負數），則取 0。這意味著『不走底下的路徑』來讓路徑加總值最大化
- 在 DFS 遞迴函式中的返回值，由於我們只能『走一條路』，所以是返回左右節點兩條路徑中加總值比較大的那條
- 每個遞迴式中，都要不斷更新最終的加總值，這是為了要取最大值。而這個加總值的判斷方式是
max(currMaxSum, DFS(node->left)+DFS(node->right)+node->val)，實際意義就是從其中一個葉子節點都走最大路徑、通過當前節點、再走另一個方向的結點到底的最大值路徑。
詳細情況請看範例程式。
DFS 複雜度
| Time Complexity | O(n) |
| Space Complexity | O(1) |
