104	Maximum Depth of Binary Tree

Given a binary tree, find its maximum depth.

The maximum depth is the number of nodes along the longest path from the root node down to the farthest leaf node.

@tag-tree

Algorithm

BFS

The layer sequence traverses the binary tree, and then counts the total number of layers, which is the maximum depth of the binary tree. Note that the for loop in the while loop has a trick.

You must put q.size() in the initialization, not in the judgment stop In the condition, because the size of q changes at any time, an error will occur in the stop condition.

DFS

Typical DFS.
