Solution: Find the Height of Binary Search Tree

Explore how to determine the height of a binary search tree by using depth-first search traversal. Learn to recursively find the maximum height between left and right subtrees, and understand the time and space complexities of the solution. This lesson helps you implement an efficient approach to solve tree height problems encountered in coding interviews.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given the root of a binary search tree, return the height of the tree. The height of the tree is the length of the longest path from the root node to any leaf node in the tree.

Note: The height of an empty tree is 0, whereas the height of a tree with a single node is 1.

Constraints:

  • 104-10^{4} \leq ...
