1、前言

2、思路

采用 DFS 或者 BFS 都可以。

3、代码

DFS：

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    public int maxDepth(TreeNode root) {
        if(root == null){
            return 0;
        }
        int left = maxDepth(root.left);
        int right = maxDepth(root.right);
        return Math.max(left, right) + 1;
    }
}

BFS：

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    public int maxDepth(TreeNode root) {
        if(root == null){
            return 0;
        }
        int depth = 0;
        List<TreeNode> queue = new ArrayList<>();
        queue.add(root);
        while(queue.size() > 0){
            int size = queue.size();
            for(int i = 0; i < size; i++){
                TreeNode cur = queue.remove(0);
                if(cur.left != null){
                    queue.add(cur.left);
                }
                if(cur.right != null){
                    queue.add(cur.right);
                }
            }
            depth++;
        }

        return depth;
    }
}
