How do I write this recursive function to find the max depth of my object?

Question

I\'m trying to write a function that will loop through my object and return the level depth of the object.

For example, if I ran the function on this object:

Answer 1

In the function

function getMaxDepth(root) {
    var currentMaxDepth = 0;

    return getDepth(currentMaxDepth, root);
}

You call getDepth with root, but root is never changed. So it is always the same. You should call for instance,

return getDepth(currentMaxDepth, root.children[0]);
