111. Minimum Depth of Binary Tree (Easy)
https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-depth-of-binary-tree/
Given a binary tree, find its minimum depth.
The minimum depth is the number of nodes along the shortest path from the root node down to the nearest leaf node.
Note: A leaf is a node with no children.
Example:
Given binary tree [3,9,20,null,null,15,7],
3
/ \
9 20
/ \
15 7
return its minimum depth = 2.
Solutions
class Solution {
public int minDepth(TreeNode root) {
if (root == null) {
return 0;
}
int left = minDepth(root.left);
int right = minDepth(root.right);
if (left == 0) {
return right + 1;
}
if (right == 0) {
return left + 1;
}
return Math.min(left, right) + 1;
}
}
