leetcode solution 98 Valid Binary Search Tree
z

Given a binary tree, determine if it is a valid binary search tree (BST).

Assume a BST is defined as follows:

  • The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys less than the node’s key.
  • The right subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys greater than the node’s key.
  • Both the left and right subtrees must also be binary search trees.

Example 1:

1
2
3
4
5
Input:
2
/ \
1 3
Output: true

Example 2:

1
2

6
7
8
    5
/ \
1 4
/ \
3 6
Output: false
Explanation: The input is: [5,1,4,null,null,3,6]. The root node's value
is 5 but its right child's value is 4.
