338. Familystrokes -

Proof. The drawing rules require a vertical line from the node down to the row of its children whenever it has at least one child. The line is mandatory and unique, hence exactly one vertical stroke. ∎ An internal node requires a horizontal stroke iff childCnt ≥ 2 .

const int ROOT = 1; vector<int> parent(N + 1, 0); vector<int> st; // explicit stack for DFS st.reserve(N); st.push_back(ROOT); parent[ROOT] = -1; // mark visited 338. FamilyStrokes

long long internalCnt = 0; // import sys sys.setrecursionlimit(200000) ∎ An internal node requires a horizontal stroke

int main() ios::sync_with_stdio(false); cin.tie(nullptr); int N; if (!(cin >> N)) return 0; vector<vector<int>> g(N + 1); for (int i = 0, u, v; i < N - 1; ++i) cin >> u >> v; g[u].push_back(v); g[v].push_back(u); parent(N + 1

Only‑if childCnt = 1 : the sole child is placed directly under the parent; the horizontal segment would have length zero and is omitted by the drawing convention. ∎ The number of strokes contributed by a node v is

internalCnt ← 0 // |I| horizontalCnt ← 0 // # v
