leetcode-104-maximum depth of binary tree

Problem Description:

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.

题目大意:

给定一个二叉树,返回它的最大深度

Solutions:

递归调用本函数,返回左右子树的最大深度中较大值+1即可。

Code in C++:

/**
 * 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) return 0;
            else
                return max(maxDepth(root->left),maxDepth(root->right))+1;

    }
};
