337_House Robber III

The thief has found himself a new place for his thievery again. There is only one entrance to this area, called the "root." Besides the root, each house has one and only one parent house. After a tour, the smart thief realized that "all houses in this place forms a binary tree". It will automatically contact the police if two directly-linked houses were broken into on the same night.

Determine the maximum amount of money the thief can rob tonight without alerting the police.

Example 1:

     3
    / \
   2   3
    \   \ 
     3   1

Maximum amount of money the thief can rob = 3 + 3 + 1 = 7.

 

Example 2:

     3
    / \
   4   5
  / \   \ 
 1   3   1

Maximum amount of money the thief can rob = 4 + 5 = 9.

 

一个二叉树，不能取相邻的两个数，求可以取到的树之和的最大值

rob[2]中 rob[0]代表rob节点所能得到的最大值，rob[1]代表从rob的子节点到叶子节点所能得到的最大值。用类似深度优先的遍历，动态规划得出结果

        }
