Describe your change:

Added a new algorithm to get maximum path sum of a binary tree.

It solves one of the Hard questions from Leetcode.

This is a custom class only designed the get the sum.

I would prefer to see a generic BinaryTree class that:

  1. has a self.root_node
  2. implements .__iter__() instead of .traverse().
  3. delivers the solution with the simple line sum(binary_tree)

Perhaps 3. is not possible for this problem.

@cclauss I'm bit confused about iter(), as traverse recursively takes maximum from left and right subtree, how can I implement that. Please give me hint on it.

Yes. Now I see the difficulties. Please make the BinaryTree and make a .traverse() method that yields the values.

@cclauss As the algorithm traverses all the nodes recursively, if we try to yield values of nodes, we'll end up yielding all the nodes. Because yield will go over all nodes where's our algorithm only requires those nodes that makes up the maximum value. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
