337 House Robber III

337. House Robber III

1. Question

The thief has found himself a new place for his thievery again. There is only one entrance to this area, called the "root." Besides the root, each house has one and only one parent house. After a tour, the smart thief realized that "all houses in this place forms a binary tree". It will automatically contact the police if two directly-linked houses were broken into on the same night.

Determine the maximum amount of money the thief can rob tonight without alerting the police.

Example 1:

     3

    / \
   2   3
    \   \      
     3   1

Maximum amount of money the thief can rob =

3 + 3 + 1 = 7.

Example 2:

     3
    / \  
   4   5
  / \   \ 
 1   3   1

Maximum amount of money the thief can rob =

4 + 5 = 9.

2. Implementation

(1) DFS

3. Time & Space Complexity

DFS: 时间复杂度O(n), 空间复杂度O(n),因为用了map
