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.

Example 1
        3
       / \
      9   20
         /  \
        15   7
Inputroot = [3,9,20,null,null,15,7]
Output2
The shortest path from the root to a nearest leaf contains 2 nodes.
Example 2
        2
         \
          3
           \
            4
             \
              5
               \
                6
Inputroot = [2,null,3,null,4,null,5,null,6]
Output5
The only leaf is node 6, so the shortest path from the root contains 5 nodes.

Constraints

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 10^5].
  • -1000 <= Node.val <= 1000
