Given the root of a binary tree, return the length of the diameter of the tree. The diameter of a binary tree is the length of the longest path between any two nodes in a tree. This path may or may not pass through the root. The length of a path between two nodes is represented by the number of edges between them.

/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* function TreeNode(val, left, right) {
* this.val = (val===undefined ? 0 : val)
* this.left = (left===undefined ? null : left)
* this.right = (right===undefined ? null : right)
* }
*/
/**
* @param {TreeNode} root
* @return {number}
*/
// If root is null, return 0
// Get max height of left subtree
// Get max height of right subtree
// Get current diameter = max height of left subtree + max height of right subtree
// Update max diameter if current diameter is greater
// Return the max (height of the left and right) + 1 which is the height of the node
var diameterOfBinaryTree = function(root) {
let maxDiameter = 0;
const dfs = (root) => {
if (root === null) {
return 0;
}
const leftMaxHeight = dfs(root.left);
const rightMaxHeight = dfs(root.right);
const currentDiameter = leftMaxHeight + rightMaxHeight;
maxDiameter = Math.max(currentDiameter, maxDiameter);
return Math.max(leftMaxHeight, rightMaxHeight) + 1;
