面试题55 - I

输入一棵二叉树的根节点，求该树的深度。从根节点到叶节点依次经过的节点（含根、叶节点）形成树的一条路径，最长路径的长度为树的深度。

例如：

给定二叉树 [3,9,20,null,null,15,7]，

    3
   / \
  9  20
    /  \
   15   7

返回它的最大深度 3 。

提示：

• 节点总数 <= 10000

Solutions

1. recursion

/**
 * 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) return 0;
        return max(maxDepth(root->left), maxDepth(root->right)) + 1;
    }
};

1. bfs with queue

/**
 * 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) {
        queue<TreeNode *> q;
        if (root) q.push(root);
        int depth = 0;

        while (!q.empty()) {
            depth++;
            int size = q.size();
            while (size--) {
                root = q.front(); q.pop();
                if (root->left)
                    q.push(root->left);
                if (root->right)
                    q.push(root->right);
            }
        }

        return depth;
    }
};

1. traversal with stack

2. simply record the maximum size of stack while traversing
