# Maximum width of a binary tree

Given a binary tree, write a function to get the maximum width of the given tree. Width of a tree is maximum of widths of all levels.

Let us consider the below example tree.

```
         1
        /  \
       2    3
     /  \     \
    4    5     8 
              / \
             6   7
```

For the above tree,\
width of level 1 is 1,\
width of level 2 is 2,\
width of level 3 is 3\
width of level 4 is 2.

So the maximum width of the tree is 3.

```java
class Solution {
    // Using levelOrder traversal
    private static int solveLevelWay(Node root) {
        if (root == null)
            return 0;
        Queue<Node> q = new LinkedList<>();
        q.add(root);
        int maxCount = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
        int count = 1;
        while (q.size() != 0) {
            int newCount = 0;
            int count = q.size();
            while (count-- > 0) {
                Node temp = q.poll();
                if (temp.left != null) {
                    q.add(temp.left);
                    newCount++;
                }
                if (temp.right != null) {
                    q.add(temp.right);
                    newCount++;
                }
            }
            maxCount = Math.max(maxCount, newCount);
        }
        return maxCount;
    }
}
```
