111. 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.
Note: A leaf is a node with no children.
Example 1:
Input: root = [3,9,20,null,null,15,7]
Output: 2Example 2:
Input: root = [2,null,3,null,4,null,5,null,6]
Output: 5
def minDepth(self, root: Optional[TreeNode]) -> int:
if not root:
return 0
if not root.left:
return 1 + self.minDepth(root.right)
if not root.right:
return 1 + self.minDepth(root.left)
return 1 + min(self.minDepth(root.left), self.minDepth(root.right))
