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.
