Depth-first Search -- Leetcode problem104. Maximum Depth of Binary Tree

• 描述：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.

树的结构：

/**
Definition for a binary tree node.
struct TreeNode {
int val;
TreeNode *left;
TreeNode *right;
TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
};
*/

• 分析：这道题是要寻找一棵二叉树的深度

• 思路一：用DFS递归实现。

class Solution {
public:
    int maxDepth(TreeNode* root) {
        if (root == NULL) return 0;
        return 1 + max(maxDepth(root -> left), maxDepth(root -> right));
    }
};

• 思路二：用BFS非递归实现。

class Solution {
public:
    int maxDepth(TreeNode* root) {
        if (root == NULL) return 0;

        queue <TreeNode*> my_queue;
        my_queue.push(root);
        int count = 0;
        while(!my_queue.empty()) {
            int n = my_queue.size();
            count++;
            for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
                TreeNode *temp = my_queue.front();
                my_queue.pop();
                if (temp -> left != NULL) {
                    my_queue.push(temp -> left);
                }
                if (temp -> right != NULL) {
                    my_queue.push(temp -> right);
                }
            }
        }
        return count;
    }
};
