Description


Given the root of a binary tree, return an array of the largest value in each row of the tree (0-indexed).

 

Example 1:

Input: root = [1,3,2,5,3,null,9]
Output: [1,3,9]

Example 2:

Input: root = [1,2,3]
Output: [1,3]

 

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree will be in the range [0, 104].
  • -231 <= Node.val <= 231 - 1

Solution


Python3

# 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 largestValues(self, root: Optional[TreeNode]) -> List[int]:
        res = []
 
        def go(node, level):
            nonlocal res
            if not node: return
 
            if level == len(res):
                res.append(node.val)
            elif node.val > res[level]:
                res[level] = node.val
            
            go(node.left, level + 1)
            go(node.right, level + 1)
        
        go(root, 0)
        
        return res
