Solution: Validate Binary Search Tree

Explore how to validate whether a binary tree is a binary search tree by performing an in-order traversal. Understand how to track node values to verify BST properties efficiently. This lesson guides you through implementing and analyzing the solution to check BST validity using depth-first search techniques in Go.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given the root of a binary tree, check whether it is a valid binary search tree (BST).

A binary tree is a valid BST if for every node:

  • 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 are valid BSTs.

Constraints:

  • ...
