Maximum Depth of Binary Tree

Home | Coding Interviews | Simple Data Structures | Maximum Depth of Binary Tree

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.

public int maxDepth(TreeNode root) {
        if(root==null){
            return 0;
        }
        return 1+Math.max(maxDepth(root.left),maxDepth(root.right));
    }

Given the head of a singly linked list, reverse the list, and return the reversed list.

Given the head of a linked list, remove the nth node from the end of the list and return its head.

You are given the heads of two sorted linked lists list1 and list2.

Merge the two lists into one sorted list. The list should be made by splicing together the nodes of the first two lists.

Return the head of the merged linked list.

Given the root of a binary tree, flatten the tree into a "linked list":

The "linked list" should use the same TreeNode class where the right child pointer points to the next node in the list and the left child pointer is always null.

The "linked list" should be in the same order as a pre-order traversal of the binary tree.
