Problem: Maximum Depth of Binary Tree

Explore how to determine the maximum depth of a binary tree by applying a recursive depth-first search approach in Java. This lesson helps you understand the problem definition, implement a clear solution, and analyze its efficiency and space usage. Gain practical skills in working with trees and recursion to manage hierarchical data.

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 ...
