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
.
