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.

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */

//有一边没有子树
public class Solution {
    public int minDepth(TreeNode root) {
        if(root == null) return 0;
        int left = minDepth(root.left);
        int right = minDepth(root.right);
        return (left == 0 || right ==0)? right+ left +1 : Math.min(right, left) +1;
    }
}
