Height of a Tree

Given the root of a binary tree, return its height. The height of a tree is defined as the number of edges on the longest path from the root to a leaf. If the tree is empty, return -1. Input format: A single line containing integers, where the first integer is the number of nodes in the tree followed by the values of the nodes in level order (use -1 to represent null nodes). Output format: Return the height of the tree as an integer. Example: Input: 7 1 2 3 4 5 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 Output: 2
