Binary Tree Depth Problem

EasyPython

Problem

Solve a problem involving binary trees, such as finding the depth of a binary tree. Represent each node as a dictionary with val, left, and right keys, using null for missing children. Implement max_depth(root) to return the number of nodes on the longest path from the root to a leaf. Return 0 when root is null.

Constraints

  • 0 <= number of nodes <= 1000
  • Each node is a dictionary with keys val, left, and right
  • left and right are either null or valid child nodes
  • Node values may be any integer

Function Signature
