Maximum Depth of Binary Tree

Maximum Depth of Binary Tree rewards clean traversal structure more than any clever shortcut. It's a great warm-up that builds traversal modeling without a ton of moving parts. The trap is revisiting states or missing a base case; your visited/queue logic needs to be tight.

BFS explores by layers using a queue; DFS explores deeply using a stack or recursion -- the same traversal with a different container. Choose BFS for shortest-path in unweighted graphs and "minimum steps," DFS for counting components, islands, and tree recursion.
