I created a tuple from a binary tree and it looks like this:
tuple = (1,(2,(4,5,6),(7,None,8)),(3,9,(10,11,12)))
The tree structure becomes more clear by applying indentation:
(1,
(2,
(4,
5,
6
),
(7,
None,
8
)
),
(3,
9,
(10,
11,
12
)
)
)
I know how to find the maximum depth of the binary tree using recursive method, but I am trying to find the maximum depth using the tuple I created. Can anyone help me with how to do it?

Recursive method:
a = (1,(2,(4,5,6),(7,None,8)),(3,9,(10,11,12)));
def depth(x):
if(isinstance(x, int) or x == None):
return 1;
else:
dL = depth(x[1]);
dR = depth(x[2]);
return max(dL, dR) + 1;
print(depth(a));
The idea is to determine the depth of a tree by looking at its left and right subtree. If the node does not have subtrees, a depth of 1 is returned. Else it returns max(depth of right, depth of left) + 1
