class Node:
    def __init__(self , val): 
        self.value = val  
        self.left = None
        self.right = None

def maxDepth(root):
    ## Null node has 0 depth.
    if root == None:
        return 0

    ## Get the depth of the left and right subtree 
    ## using recursion.
    leftDepth = maxDepth(root.left)
    rightDepth = maxDepth(root.right)

    ## Choose the larger one and add the root to it.
    if leftDepth > rightDepth:
        return leftDepth + 1
    else:
        return rightDepth + 1

## Driver Code

## Example 1:
## root = Node(1)
## root.left = Node(2)
## root.right = Node(3)
## root.left.left = Node(4)
## root.left.right = Node(5)

## Example 2:
root = Node(1)
root.left = Node(2)
root.right = Node(3)
root.left.left = Node(4)
root.right.right = Node(5)
root.left.left.right = Node(6)

print("The max depth is:", maxDepth(root))
