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. Learn to apply topological sorting and track longest chains from children nodes to calculate this path efficiently. This lesson walks you through building in-degree arrays, processing leaf nodes, and combining chain lengths to solve dependency-based path problems.
