104. Maximum Depth of Binary Tree #

Problem Statement: #

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, 10⁴].
• -100 <= Node.val <= 100

Solution: #

public class MaximumDepthOfBinaryTree {

    public static int maxDepth(TreeNode root) {
        if (root == null)
            return 0;
        int depth = Math.max(maxDepth(root.left), maxDepth(root.right)) + 1;
        return depth;
    }
}
