treeProblem URL: Maximum width of binary tree
We will use BFS to find the maximum width of the tree.
# Definition for a binary tree node.
# class TreeNode:
# def __init__(self, val=0, left=None, right=None):
# self.val = val
# self.left = left
# self.right = right
class Solution:
def widthOfBinaryTree(self, root: Optional[TreeNode]) -> int:
queue = collections.deque([(root,0)])
res = 0
while queue:
res = max(res, queue[-1][1]-queue[0][1]+1)
for i in range(len(queue)):
node, cur = queue.popleft()
if node.left:
queue.append((node.left, 2*cur))
if node.right:
queue.append((node.right, 2*cur+1))
return res
