+ *
+ * The thief has found himself a new place for his thievery again. There is only one
+ * entrance to this area, called the "root." Besides the root, each house has one and
+ * only one parent house. After a tour, the smart thief realized that "all houses in
+ * this place forms a binary tree". It will automatically contact the police if two 
+ * directly-linked houses were broken into on the same night.
+ * 
+ * Determine the maximum amount of money the thief can rob tonight without alerting the
+ * police.
+ * 
+ * Example 1:
+ *     3
+ *    / \
+ *   2   3
+ *    \   \ 
+ *     3   1
+ * Maximum amount of money the thief can rob = 3 + 3 + 1 = 7.
+ * Example 2:
+ *     3
+ *    / \
+ *   4   5
+ *  / \   \ 
+ * 1   3   1
+ * Maximum amount of money the thief can rob = 4 + 5 = 9.

+ * Solution 1 - O(N log N)
+ * =========
+ *
+ * We can use a recursive function that computes the solution for every node of the tree 
+ * using the previous solutions calculated for the left and right subtrees. At every step
+ * we have 2 options:
+ *
+ * 1) Take the value of the current node + the solution of the left and right subtrees of
+ * each of the left and right children of the current node.
+ * 2) Take the solution of the left and right subtrees of the current node, skipping over
+ * its value.
+ *
+ * This way we can make sure that we do not pick 2 adjacent nodes.
+ *
+ * If we implemented this right away we would get TLE. Thus, we need to optimize the
+ * algorithm. One key observation would be that we only need to compute the solution for
+ * a certain node once. We can use memoization to calculate every value once and then
+ * retrieve it when we get subsequent calls. As the header of the recursive function
+ * doesn't allow additional parameters we can use a map to link every node(a pointer) to
+ * its solution(an int). For every call the map lookup of an element and its insertion
+ * take logarithmic time and there are a constant number of calls for each node. Thus, the
+ * algorithm takes O(N log N) time to finish.
