DIY: Maximum Difference Between Node and Ancestor

Explore how to solve the problem of finding the maximum absolute difference between an ancestor and a descendant node in a binary tree. This lesson helps you understand tree traversal and ancestor-descendant relationships, enabling you to implement efficient algorithms for coding interviews.

Problem statement

Given the root of a binary tree, find the maximum value, X, for which there exist two different nodes, A and B. X = |A.val - ...
