【LeetCode】104. 二叉树的最大深度

问题描述

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.

Note: A leaf is a node with no children.

给定一个二叉树，求它的最大深度。
最大深度是从根节点到最远叶节点的最长路径上的节点数。
注意:叶节点是没有子节点的节点。

给定一个二叉树 [3,9,20,null,null,15,7],

    3
   / \
  9  20
    /  \
   15   7

返回的深度 depth = 3.

Python 实现

# Definition for a binary tree node.
class TreeNode(object):
    def __init__(self, x):
        self.val = x
        self.left = None
        self.right = None

class Solution(object):
    def maxDepth(self, root):
        """
        :type root: TreeNode
        :rtype: int
        """
        if root == None:
            return 0        
        left_depth = self.maxDepth(root.left)
        right_depth = self.maxDepth(root.right)
        
        return (left_depth+1) if left_depth > right_depth else (right_depth+1)
