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

Be careful with the line one node to another costed me 1 WA simple dfs

@Mohit Rathore The input will not be a forest.
Read the Input Section carefully. :) Only 1 tree will be there

@Mohit, your given graph is not a connected tree. Rather it is a forest with two trees.

Am I misunderstanding the question? For this test case answer should be 3 (4->5->6->7)
7
1 2
2 3
4 5
5 6
6 7
5 7

but one of the accepted solution answered it as 2.

nice one !

this time using DFS :)

Si hay alguno de la UTN lo puede resolver, que me mande un mail a lopezfelipeutn@gmail.com con su código; Estoy buscando miembros para competir

normal recurrsion to get max level!! or you can say bfs or dfs :)
