<p>The thief has found himself a new place for his thievery again. There is only one entrance to this area, called <code>root</code>.</p>

<p>Besides the <code>root</code>, each house has one and only one parent house. After a tour, the smart thief realized that all houses in this place form a binary tree. It will automatically contact the police if <strong>two directly-linked houses were broken into on the same night</strong>.</p>

<p>Given the <code>root</code> of the binary tree, return <em>the maximum amount of money the thief can rob <strong>without alerting the police</strong></em>.</p>
