struct CellNode{ 
    struct CellNode *leftChild; 
    int element; 
    struct CellNode *rightChild; 
  };
 
int Dosomething (struct CellNode *ptr) { 
      int value = 0; 
      if (ptr ! = NULL) 
          { if (ptr - > leftChild ! = NULL) 
            value = 1 + DoSomething (ptr - > leftChild); 
          if (ptr - > rightChild ! = NULL) 
            value = max(value,1 + DoSomething (ptr - > rightChild)); 
          } 
      return (value); 
}
