# [111. Minimum Depth of Binary Tree](https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-depth-of-binary-tree/description/) # 思路 求二叉树的最小深度。依次分为以下情况: * 若为空树,则返回0; * 否则,若左右子树都为空,返回1; * 否则,若左子树为空,那么最小深度就为右子树的最小深度加1;若右子树为空,那么最小深度就为左子树的最小深度加1; * 否则(即左右子树都不空),那么最小深度就是min(1+左子树最小深度, 1+右子树最小深度); # C++ ``` C++ class Solution { public: int minDepth(TreeNode* root) { if(root == NULL) return 0; else if(root -> left == NULL && root -> right == NULL) return 1; else if(root -> left == NULL) return 1 + minDepth(root -> right); else if(root -> right == NULL) return 1 + minDepth(root -> left); return 1 + min(minDepth(root -> left), minDepth(root -> right)); } }; ```
