543. Diameter of Binary Tree
题目
Given the root of a binary tree, return the length of the diameter of the tree.
The diameter of a binary tree is the length of the longest path between any two nodes in a tree. This path may or may not pass through the root.
The length of a path between two nodes is represented by the number of edges between them.
Example 1:

Input: root = [1,2,3,4,5] Output: 3 Explanation: 3 is the length of the path [4,2,1,3] or [5,2,1,3].
Example 2:
Input: root = [1,2] Output: 1
Constraints:
- The number of nodes in the tree is in the range
[1, 104]. -100 <= Node.val <= 100

思路
记录最大直径,需要使用一个全局变量来 track 每次找到的最大值
否则记录的是最后找到的一条直径长度
