Description

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:

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

tree

return its minimum depth = 2.

Solution

DFS, time O(n), space O(h)

題目有坑啊漂辐，一定注意驶臊，是從root到left的minDepth！而非root到null的澳盐！如果root.right == null东揣，minDepth不是1循衰，而是應(yīng)該計算root到leftTree的leaf才對厢漩。
