You have been given a Binary Tree of integers, find the minimum depth of this Binary Tree. The minimum depth of a Binary Tree is the number of nodes along the shortest path from the root node down to the nearest leaf node.

Note:
A leaf is a node with no children.
For example:
For the given binary tree

alt text

Output: 2
The shortest path is from root node 1 to leaf node 2 which contains 2 nodes in the path. Hence, the minimum depth is 2.
