Algorithm

111. Minimum Depth of Binary Tree

Description

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 1:

Input: root = [3,9,20,null,null,15,7]
Output: 2

Example 2:

Input: root = [2,null,3,null,4,null,5,null,6]
Output: 5

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 105].
  • -1000 <= Node.val <= 1000

Solution

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
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||right==0){
            return left+right+1;
        }
        return left<right?left+1:right+1;
    }
}
