Binary Tree Longest Consecutive Sequence II

Medium

Given the root of a binary tree, return the length of the longest consecutive path in the tree. This path can be either increasing or decreasing. For example, [1,2,3,4] and [4,3,2,1] are both considered valid, but the path [1,2,4,3] is not valid. On the other hand, the path can be in the child-Parent-child order, where not necessarily be parent-child order. Example 1: Input: root = [1,2,3] Output: 2 Explanation: The longest consecutive path is [1, 2] or [2, 1]. Example 2: Input: root = [2,1,3] Output: 3 Explanation: The longest consecutive path is [1, 2, 3] or [3, 2, 1]. Constraints: The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 3 * 104]. -3 * 104 <= Node.val <= 3 * 104
