#104 Maximum Depth of Binary Tree

EasyTrees~10 min

Given the root of a binary tree, return its maximum depth: the number of nodes on the longest path from the root down to any leaf.

An empty tree has depth 0; a single node has depth 1.

Examples

Inputroot = [3, 9, 20, null, null, 15, 7]
Output3

The longest root-to-leaf path is 3 → 20 → 15 (or 3 → 20 → 7): three nodes.

Inputroot = [1, null, 2]
Output2

The tree leans right; the path 1 → 2 has two nodes.

Constraints

  • 0 ≤ number of nodes ≤ 10⁴
  • -100 ≤ Node.val ≤ 100
