Solution: Longest Path With Different Adjacent Characters
Explore how to compute the longest path in a rooted tree where no two adjacent nodes share the same character. Understand using in-degree calculation, queue processing of leaf nodes, and combining chains from children in a topological order. This lesson teaches an efficient O(n) time and space solution leveraging tree properties and character constraints to solve this common interview pattern.
