[LeetCode] 298. Binary Tree Longest Consecutive Sequence 二叉树最长连续序列

Given a binary tree, find the length of the longest consecutive sequence path.

The path refers to any sequence of nodes from some starting node to any node in the tree along the parent-child connections. The longest consecutive path need to be from parent to child (cannot be the reverse).

For example,

   1
    \
     3
    / \
   2   4
        \
         5

Longest consecutive sequence path is 3-4-5, so return 3.

   2
    \
     3
    /
   2
  /
 1

Longest consecutive sequence path is 2-3,not3-2-1, so return 2.

求二叉树的最长连续序列的长度，要从父节点到子节点。最长连续子序列必须是从root到leaf的方向。 比如 1->2，返回长度2， 比如1->3->4->5，返回3->4->5这个子序列的长度3。

解法：递归遍历binary tree，递归函数传入父节点的值，以帮助子节点判断是否连续。

C++: 迭代　　

class Solution {

        if (!root) return 0;
        int res = 0;
        queue<TreeNode*> q;
        q.push(root);
        while (!q.empty()) {
            int len = 1;
            TreeNode *t = q.front(); q.pop();
            while ((t->left && t->left->val == t->val + 1) || (t->right && t->right->val == t->val + 1)) {
