104. Maximum Depth of Binary Tree

Description

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

Solutions

Solution 1: Recursion

Recursively traverse the left and right subtrees, calculate the maximum depth of the left and right subtrees, and then take the maximum value plus \(1\).

The time complexity is \(O(n)\), where \(n\) is the number of nodes in the binary tree. Each node is traversed only once in the recursion.
