LeetCodeTreeDepth-First SearchBreadth-First SearchBinary TreeOpen on judge ↗

Given the root of a binary tree, the level of its root is 1, the level of its children is 2, and so on. Return the smallest level x such that the sum of all the values of nodes at level x is maximal. Example 1: Input: root = [1,7,0,7,-8,null,null] Output: 2 Explanation: Level 1 sum = 1. Level 2 sum = 7 + 0 = 7. Level 3 sum = 7 + -8 = -1. So we return the level with the maximum sum which is le
