Solution: Longest Path With Different Adjacent Characters
Explore how to determine the longest path in a rooted tree where no two adjacent nodes share the same character. This lesson guides you through using topological sorting, in-degree calculation, and managing longest chains from child nodes to efficiently solve the problem. By the end, you will understand how to combine child chains and update paths to find the maximum valid path length.
