Problem

Given the root of a binary tree, return the maximum average value of a subtree of that tree. Answers within 10^-5 of the actual answer will be accepted. A subtree of a tree is any node of that tree plus all its descendants. The average value of a tree is the sum of its values, divided by the number of nodes.

Examples

Constraints

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 10^4].
  • 0 <= Node.val <= 10^5

Solution
