LeetCodeTreeDepth-First SearchBinary TreeOpen on judge ↗

Given the root of a binary tree, find the maximum value v for which there exist different nodes a and b where v = |a.val - b.val| and a is an ancestor of b. A node a is an ancestor of b if either: any child of a is equal to b or any child of a is an ancestor of b. Example 1: Input: root = [8,3,10,1,6,null,14,null,null,4,7,13] Output: 7 Explanation: We have various ancestor-node differences, s
