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.
Example:
Given binary tree [3,9,20,null,null,15,7]
,
3 / \ 9 20 / \ 15 7
return its depth = 3.
思路:这个题的重点是返回最大深度。递归方法检查每个node是否存在,如果存在进一步检查node.left和node.right,返回最大的一个。
# Definition for a binary tree node.
# class TreeNode:
# def __init__(self, x):
# self.val = x
# self.left = None
# self.right = None
class Solution:
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))
return
