104. Maximum Depth of Binary Tree

Easy

Given the root of a binary tree, return its maximum depth.

A binary tree's maximum depth is the number of nodes along the longest path from the root node down to the farthest leaf node.

Example 1:

Input: root = [3,9,20,null,null,15,7]
Output: 3

Example 2:

Input: root = [1,null,2]
Output: 2

Constraints:

• The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 10^4].

• -100 <= Node.val <= 100

解題

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * type TreeNode struct {
 *     Val int
 *     Left *TreeNode
 *     Right *TreeNode
 * }
 */
func maxDepth(root *TreeNode) int {
    if root == nil { return 0 }
    return 1 + max(maxDepth(root.Left), maxDepth(root.Right))
}

func max(a, b int) int {
    if a > b { return a }
    return b
}
