一棵树要么是空树，要么有两个指针，每个指针指向一棵树。树是一种递归结构，很多树的问题可以使用递归来处理。

  1. 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.

Note: A leaf is a node with no children.

Example:

Given binary tree [3,9,20,null,null,15,7],

return its depth = 3.

/**
 * 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;
        return Math.max(maxDepth(root.left),maxDepth(root.right))+1;
    }
}
