    1026 - Maximum Difference Between Node and Ancestor.

    Medium

    Given the root of a binary tree, find the maximum value v for which there exist different nodes a and b where v = |a.val - b.val| and a is an ancestor of b.

    A node a is an ancestor of b if either: any child of a is equal to b or any child of a is an ancestor of b.

    Example 1:

    Input: root = [8,3,10,1,6,null,14,null,null,4,7,13]

    Output: 7

    Explanation: We have various ancestor-node differences, some of which are given below :

     |8 - 3| = 5 
     |3 - 7| = 4 
     |8 - 1| = 7 
     |10 - 13| = 3 
    

    Among all possible differences, the maximum value of 7 is obtained by |8 - 1| = 7.

    Example 2:

    Input: root = [1,null,2,null,0,3]

    Output: 3

    Constraints:

    • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [2, 5000].
    • 0 <= Node.val <= 105
