Solution
Updated: 2026-02-23

Idea

The diameter through a node equals left height + right height.

Approach

DFS returns subtree height. While computing heights, update a global best with leftHeight + rightHeight.

Why it works

Every longest path has a highest (LCA) node; evaluating lh+rh at each node considers all possible diameters.
