binary-tree-maximum-path-sum——二叉树任意一条路径上的最大值

Given a binary tree, find the maximum path sum.

The path may start and end at any node in the tree.

For example:
Given the below binary tree,

       1
      / 
     2   3

Return 6.

 找出任意两个节点之间的路径,并且该路径的值之和最大。

PS:关键在于递归函数的返回值,应该返回该节点的任意子节点到该节点父节点之间路径的最大值,即root->l返回的值应该为root->l的任意子节点到root能得到的最大值-root->val。同时在遍历时时刻检查sum与max的大小并更新max的值。
