Problem: Maximum Depth of Binary Tree
Understand how to determine the maximum depth of a binary tree by implementing a recursive depth-first search in JavaScript. This lesson helps you learn to traverse left and right subtrees, handle base cases, and compute the longest path from root to leaf nodes effectively. You will also explore the time and space complexity considerations for this algorithm.

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
