Min Distance to Furthest
INTERN
You are given a tree-shaped undirected graph consisting of n nodes labeled 1...n and n-1 edges. The i-th edge connects nodes edges[i][0] and edges[i][1] together.
For a node x in the tree, let d(x) be the distance (the number of edges) from x to its farthest node. Find the min value of d(x) for the given tree.
The tree has the following properties:
- It is connected.
- It has no cycles.
- For any pair of distinct nodes x and y in the tree, there's exactly 1 path connecting x and y.
Function Description
Complete the function findMinDistanceToFurthestNode in the editor. findMinDistanceToFurthestNode has the following parameters:
- int n : the number of nodes
- int edges[n-1][2] : an array of n-1 edges where each edges[i] contains two integers representing an edge connecting the nodes
Returns
int: the minimum distance to the furthest node
Example 1 :
Input:
n = 6, edges = [[1, 4], [2, 3], [3, 4], [4, 5], [5, 6]]
Output:
2
Example 2 :

n = 10, edges = [[1, 2], [2, 3], [3, 4], [4, 5], [5, 6], [6, 7], [7, 8], [8, 9], [9, 10]]
Output:
5
Example 5 :
