Problem: Kth Smallest Element in a BST

Medium
30 min
Explore methods to identify the kth smallest element in a binary search tree through depth-first search. Understand problem constraints, practice building logical solutions, and learn to implement efficient algorithms that balance time and space complexity in tree data structures.

Statement

Given the root node of a binary search tree and an integer value k, return the kthk^{th} smallest value in the tree.

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is nn.
  • 1kn5001 \leq k \leq n \leq 500
  • 00 \leq Node.data 104\leq 10^4
