LeetCode104. Maximum Depth of Binary Tree 二叉树的最大深度

1. problem description

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.

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.

 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode *left;
 *     TreeNode *right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
 * };

	            q.pop();
	            
	            if(p -> left != NULL)
