Problem: Maximum Depth of Binary Tree
Explore how to calculate the maximum depth of a binary tree by applying a recursive depth-first search approach. This lesson teaches you to analyze and implement a solution that visits every node, accounts for the longest root-to-leaf path, and evaluates its time and space complexity in both balanced and skewed tree scenarios.

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
