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

Solution

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * struct TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     struct TreeNode *left;
 *     struct TreeNode *right;
 * };
 */
int maxDepth(struct TreeNode* root) {
    if(root == NULL){
            return 0;
    }
    int left = maxDepth(root->left);
    int right = maxDepth(root->right);
    return (left > right ? left : right) + 1;
}
