Maximum Depth of Binary Tree

要求：求二叉树的深度（二叉树的深度为最远叶子节点到根节点的距离，即根节点到最远叶子节点的距离）

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.

有两种求解的思路，一种采用DFS的思想，一种采用BFS的思想，如下代码所示：

 1 struct TreeNode {
 2     int            val;
 3     TreeNode*    left;
 4     TreeNode*    right;
 5     TreeNode(int x): val(x), left(NULL),right(NULL) {}
 6 };
 7 
 8 //采用DFS的思想
 9 int maxDepth(TreeNode *root)
10 {
11     if (NULL == root)
12         return 0;
13     int l = maxDepth(root->left);
14     int r = maxDepth(root->right);
15 
16     return l > r ? l + 1:r+1;
17     //以上这两种方式有一种更简便的方法
18     //return 1 + max(maxDepth(root->left), maxDepth(root->right));
19 }
