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.

/**
* Definition for binary tree
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
* };
*/
//注意是叶子节点,左右都为空的节点才是
class Solution {
public:
int minDepth(TreeNode *root) {
if(root==NULL)
return 0;
if(root->left==NULL && root->right==NULL)
return 1;
int leftDep,rightDep;

leftDep=minDepth(root->left);
rightDep=minDepth(root->right);
if(leftDep==0)
return rightDep+1;
else if(rightDep==0)
return leftDep+1;
return (leftDep<rightDep?leftDep:rightDep)+1;
}
};
