Problem: Maximum Depth of Binary Tree

Understand how to calculate the maximum depth of a binary tree using a recursive depth-first search approach. This lesson guides you through implementing the solution in Go by exploring each node's subtrees, returning the longest path from root to leaf. You will also analyze the algorithm's time and space complexity, gaining practical skills for tree traversal problems.

Statement

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

The maximum depth of a binary tree is defined as the number of nodes along the longest path from the root node down to the farthest leaf node.

Note: A leaf node is a node with no children.

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0,104][0, 10^4].

  • 100-100 \leq ...
