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

Nice...!!

Good prob to increase confidence in tree.. :)

@Nitesh Tiwari : That is not a tree. (1,2,3,11) is a cycle since edges are undirected.

Very good problem with a simple solution

not a binary tree, cost me 3 WA

Dynamic Program + DFS , Advanced Solution.

DFS! diameter of a tree . http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/diameter-of-a-binary-tree/

is it a binary tree or any random tree ??

This can be done in in one loop over vertices, take advantage that this is a tree, no need for BFS or DFS
