title
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.
注意:叶子节点是左右孩子都为空的节点
solution
思路:
- 递归,若为空树返回0;
- 若左子树为空,则返回右子树的最小深度+1;(加1是因为要加上根这一层,下同)
- 若右子树为空,则返回左子树的最小深度+1;
- 若左右子树均不为空,则取左、右子树最小深度的较小值,+1;
