Solution: Longest Path With Different Adjacent Characters
Explore how to determine the longest path in a rooted tree where no two consecutive nodes have the same character. Understand how to use a parent array to calculate node children, process leaf nodes via topological order, and track longest distinct chains. This lesson helps you implement an efficient solution with linear time complexity for this pattern.
