104. Maximum Depth of Binary Tree

 

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

 

 

Python Solution:

# 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
        else:
            return 1+max(self.maxDepth(root.left),self.maxDepth(root.right))
