#K44812. Tree Diameter
Tree Diameter
Tree Diameter
You are given an undirected tree with n
nodes. The nodes are labeled from 1 to n
. The tree is represented by a list of n-1
edges. Your task is to compute the diameter of the tree.
The diameter of a tree is defined as the number of nodes on the longest path between any two nodes in the tree. Formally, if the longest path in the tree goes through nodes \(v_1, v_2, \dots, v_k\), then the diameter is \(k\). Note that if the tree consists of a single node, the diameter is 1.
Input Format: The first line contains an integer n
which represents the number of nodes. If n > 1
, the following n-1
lines each contain two integers u
and v
representing an edge between nodes u
and v
.
Example:
For a tree with 5 nodes and edges:
5 1 2 1 3 2 4 2 5
The longest path is from node 4 to node 5 passing through nodes 2 and 1 (or a similar variation), including 4 nodes in total.
inputFormat
The input is read from stdin and has the following format:
- The first line contains a single integer
n
— the number of nodes in the tree. - If
n > 1
, the nextn-1
lines each contain two space-separated integersu
andv
denoting an edge between nodeu
and nodev
.
outputFormat
Print to stdout a single integer denoting the diameter of the tree (i.e. the number of nodes on the longest path).
