111. Minimum Depth of Binary Tree

https://leetcode.com/problems/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.

Note: A leaf is a node with no children.

注意是節點數！

cal sub tree node -> postorder

Minimum Depth of Binary Tree - LeetCodeLeetCode

因為有可能這樣一個很歪斜的樹, 所以如果用 dfs 要考慮這個狀況

class Solution {
    public int minDepth(TreeNode root) {
        if (root == null) {
            return 0;
        }
        
        if (root.left == null && root.right == null) {
            return 1;
        }
        int left = minDepth(root.left);
        int right = minDepth(root.right);
        
        if (root.left == null) {
            return right + 1;
        }
        if (root.right == null) {
            return left + 1;
        }
        return Math.min(left, right) + 1;
    }
}

答案是 3, 9 -> 2 (2 node

use BFS

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