题目
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.
Note: A leaf is a node with no children.
Example:
Given binary tree [3,9,20,null,null,15,7],
3
/
9 20
/
15 7
return its depth = 3.
解法一
思路一
求二叉树的最大深度问题用到深度优先搜索DFS,递归的完美应用,跟求二叉树的最小深度问题原理相同。
代码
class Solution {
public:
int maxDepth(TreeNode* root) {
if (!root) return 0;
return 1 + max(maxDepth(root->left), maxDepth(root->right));
}
};
解法二
思路
也可以使用层序遍历二叉树,然后计数总层数,即为二叉树的最大深度。
代码
class Solution {
public:
int maxDepth(TreeNode* root) {
if (!root) return 0;
int res = 0;
queue<TreeNode*> q{{root}};
while (!q.empty()) {
++res;
for (int i = q.size(); i > 0; --i) {
TreeNode *t = q.front(); q.pop();
if (t->left) q.push(t->left);
if (t->right) q.push(t->right);
}
}
return res;
}
};
