849. Maximum Path Sum Root to Leaf

EasyTreesBinary TreeDFSRecursion

Given the root of a binary tree, return the maximum sum of node values along any path from the root down to a leaf. An empty tree has sum 0. The tree is given as a level-order array with null for missing children.

Input: A level-order array of the tree.

Output: Integer — the maximum root-to-leaf path sum.
