leetcode | Balanced Binary Tree

Balanced Binary Tree : https://leetcode.com/problems/balanced-binary-tree/

given a binary tree, determine if it is height-balanced.

For this problem, a height-balanced binary tree is defined as a binary tree in which the depth of the two subtrees of every node never differ by more than 1.

本题关键点：每个节点的子树都是平衡，整棵树才是平衡的。那么当某一个子树是非平衡时，必须做出标记，以使在计算该非平衡子树的父节点深度时能直接查看，由于树的深度是非负的，因此当存在不平衡子树时，对该不平衡子树的深度标为 -1，然后每次计算深度时，查看是否有深度 -1 的子树。

            return -1;  // left_depth < 0 || right_depth < 0 代表左右子树已经不是平衡树了
        return max(left_depth, right_depth)+1;
