# Question 104. Maximum Depth of Binary Tree
### Description:
Given the root of a binary tree, return its maximum depth.
A binary tree's maximum depth is the number of nodes along the longest path from the root node down to the farthest leaf node.
### Solution:
Two solution:
- DFS
- Deep First Search:
- bottom up
- Recursive
- BFS
- Breadth First Search
- top down
- Use Queue
### AC code
Code 1, DFS
```cpp=
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode() : val(0), left(nullptr), right(nullptr) {}
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(nullptr), right(nullptr) {}
* TreeNode(int x, TreeNode *left, TreeNode *right) : val(x), left(left), right(right) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
//DFS
int maxDepth(TreeNode* root) {
if(root==NULL)
return 0;
return (max(maxDepth(root->left), maxDepth(root->right))+1);
}
```
code 2, BFS
```cpp=
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode() : val(0), left(nullptr), right(nullptr) {}
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(nullptr), right(nullptr) {}
* TreeNode(int x, TreeNode *left, TreeNode *right) : val(x), left(left), right(right) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
//BFS
int maxDepth(TreeNode* root) {
if(root==NULL)
return 0;
int ret = 0;
queue<TreeNode*> r;
r.push(root);
while(!r.empty()){
++ret;
int n = r.size();
for(int i = 0 ; i < n ; i++){
TreeNode* tmp = r.front();
r.pop();
if(tmp->left!=NULL)
r.push(tmp->left);
if(tmp->right!=NULL)
r.push(tmp->right);
}
}
return ret;
}
};
```
