98. Validate Binary Search Tree - Medium

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:

Input:
    2
   / \
  1   3
Output: true

Example 2:

    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.

 

recursion

給每個節點定義一個區間,如果節點的值落在區間外,返回false,否則繼續遞迴左右節點,區間上下限相應調整

注意!!min, max如果用int會溢位,要用long

time: O(n), space: O(n)
