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.
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.
解题思路
使用递归。根节点的深度 = max(左子树深度, 右子树深度)。
代码如下:
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
int maxDepth(TreeNode* root) {
if(root == NULL) {
return 0;
}
//这么写会报超时,用max函数则不会
/*return maxDepth(root->left) > maxDepth(root->right) ? maxDepth(root->left) + 1 : maxDepth(root->right) + 1;
*/
return max(1 + maxDepth(root -> left), 1 + maxDepth(root -> right));
}
};
上述递归解法是基于深度优先搜索,用广度优先搜索也可以解题。代码如下:
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
int maxDepth(TreeNode* root) {
if(root == NULL)
return 0;
queue<TreeNode*> q;
q.push(root);
int result = 0;
while(q.size() != 0) {
result++;
int size = q.size();
for(int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
TreeNode *temp = q.front();
q.pop();
if(temp->left != NULL) {
q.push(temp->left);
}
if(temp->right != NULL) {
q.push(temp->right);
}
}
}
return result;
}
};
