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

just use the diameter of a tree concept. you're good to go then! |

Run dfs/bfs two times , in the first run find the farthest vertex from vert 1, and the again run dfs from that vertex(farthest) and calculate the longest path. |

Do not print a new line at the end of the ans. |

I am getting wrong answer on my code. I call bfs for each node. and take the maximum depth. |

AC in single graph traversal . Just keep track of 3 things :

Java people, Scanner wont cause TLE in this question. I used scanner and got AC. |
