# 0559. Maximum Depth of N-ary Tree

<https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-depth-of-n-ary-tree>

## Description

Given a n-ary tree, find its maximum depth.

The maximum depth is the number of nodes along the longest path from the root node down to the farthest leaf node.

*Nary-Tree input serialization is represented in their level order traversal, each group of children is separated by the null value (See examples).*

**Example 1:**

```
**Input:** root = [1,null,3,2,4,null,5,6]
**Output:** 3
```

**Example 2:**

```
**Input:** root = [1,null,2,3,4,5,null,null,6,7,null,8,null,9,10,null,null,11,null,12,null,13,null,null,14]
**Output:** 5
```

**Constraints:**

* The total number of nodes is in the range `[0, 104]`.
* The depth of the n-ary tree is less than or equal to `1000`.
