DIY: Maximum Difference Between Node and Ancestor

Explore how to implement a function that calculates the maximum absolute difference between values of ancestor and descendant nodes in a binary tree. Learn to traverse trees effectively and apply problem-solving techniques useful 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 ...
