Given a binary tree, find its maximum depth.
The maximum depth is the number of nodes along the longest path from the root node down to the farthest leaf node.
Note: A leaf is a node with no children.
Example:
Given binary tree [3,9,20,null,null,15,7]
,
3 / \ 9 20 / \ 15 7
return its depth = 3.
Method 1. Recursively
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
int maxDepth(TreeNode* root) {
if (root == NULL)
return 0;
return 1 + max(maxDepth(root->left), maxDepth(root->right));
}
};
Method 2. Iteratively
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
int maxDepth(TreeNode* root) {
if (root == NULL)
return 0;
int res = 0;
queue<TreeNode*> que;
que.push(root);
while (!que.empty()) {
res ++;
int levelSize = que.size();
for (int i = 0; i < levelSize; i ++) {
TreeNode* node = que.front();
que.pop();
if (node->left)
que.push(node->left);
if (node->right)
que.push(node->right);
}
}
return res;
}
};
