Description

Given the root of a binary tree, return its maximum depth.

A binary tree's maximum depth is the number of nodes along the longest path from the root node down to the farthest leaf node.

 

Example 1:

Input: root = [3,9,20,null,null,15,7]
Output: 3

Example 2:

Input: root = [1,null,2]
Output: 2

 

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 104].
  • -100 <= Node.val <= 100

Solution(Python)

# Definition for a binary tree node.
class TreeNode:
    def __init__(self, val=0, left=None, right=None):
        self.val = val
        self.left = left
        self.right = right
class Solution:
    def maxDepth(self, root: TreeNode | None) -> int:
        if not root:
            return 0
        
        queue = deque([root])
        depth = 0
        
        while queue:
            for _ in range(len(queue)):
                curr = queue.popleft()
                if curr.left:
                    queue.append(curr.left)
                if curr.right:
                    queue.append(curr.right)
            depth += 1
            
        return depth
