Height of a node in a binary tree

Hello,

I have a question regarding the height of a node in a binary tree other than the root node? In my height method, for the root i can pass the root as a parameter. But if i want to find the height of a node other than the root , what shud i pass as a parameter in that function?? Would really appreciate your help!!

Why not the node itself? I presume the nodes in the tree have references to their parent.

Good start, so far!

What you need:
- the height of a node

What you have:
- passing in the root as parameter

What you are missing:
... because it is a recursive method, in each method call, you need to keep track of the CURRENT height somehow, right? So... what are you missing??
