Closest Binary Search Tree Value
Explore how to identify the node value in a binary search tree closest to a given target float by applying depth-first search methods. Understand constraints and develop a solution that returns the smallest value among equally close nodes. Practice implementing this algorithm to strengthen your skills in solving binary tree problems efficiently.

Statement
Given the root of a binary search tree and a floating point target value, find the node value in the BST that is closest to target. If there are multiple node values with the same minimum distance to target, return the smallest among them.
Note: The
targetis a floating point number, while all node values are integers.
Constraints:
The number of nodes in the tree is in the range
