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.
/**
* Definition for binary tree
* public class TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode left;
* TreeNode right;
* TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
* }
*/
public class Solution {
public int maxDepth(TreeNode root) {
// Start typing your Java solution below
// DO NOT write main() function
if(root == null) return 0;
else return Math.max(maxDepth(root.left), maxDepth(root.right)) + 1;
}
