<p>Given the <code>root</code> of a binary tree, the level of its root is <code>1</code>, the level of its children is <code>2</code>, and so on.</p>

<p>Return the <strong>smallest</strong> level <code>x</code> such that the sum of all the values of nodes at level <code>x</code> is <strong>maximal</strong>.</p>

<img alt="" src="https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2019/05/03/capture.JPG" style="width: 200px; height: 175px;" />
<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> root = [1,7,0,7,-8,null,null]
<strong>Output:</strong> 2
<strong>Explanation: </strong>
Level 1 sum = 1.
Level 2 sum = 7 + 0 = 7.
Level 3 sum = 7 + -8 = -1.
So we return the level with the maximum sum which is level 2.

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> root = [989,null,10250,98693,-89388,null,null,null,-32127]
<strong>Output:</strong> 2
