Maximum Depth of Binary Tree

Given the root of a binary tree, return its maximum depth.

A binary tree's maximum depth is the number of nodes along the longest path from the root node down to the farthest leaf node.

Solution:

class Solution(object):
    def maxDepth(self, root):
        if root is None: 
            return 0 
        else: 
            left_height = self.maxDepth(root.left) 
            right_height = self.maxDepth(root.right) 
            return max(left_height, right_height) + 1
