PT07Z - Longest path in a tree

You are given an unweighted, undirected tree. Write a program to output the length of the longest path (from one node to another) in that tree. The length of a path in this case is number of edges we traverse from source to destination.

Input

The first line of the input file contains one integer N --- number of nodes in the tree (0 < N <= 10000). Next N-1 lines contain N-1 edges of that tree --- Each line contains a pair (u, v) means there is an edge between node u and node v (1 <= u, v <= N).

Output

Print the length of the longest path on one line.

Example

Input:
3
1 2
2 3

Output:
2

what does this mean Runtime error (SIGSEGV)

both depth and diameter conepts will be cleared with this problem

AC in One Go ...by using just 2 dfs call one call for finding farthest node and other for finding longest distances using farthest node :)

The question is highly misleading i tried a lot of times the actual number of nodes is greater than 10000. I took an array of 1e6 for the solution to finally get accepted. If your code fails at test(5) take the size of array to be 1e6 (1000000)

use double dfs

good question helped clear my concepts.
