Problem: Validate Binary Search Tree

med
30 min
Explore how to determine if a binary tree meets the properties of a binary search tree. Learn to check node values recursively, ensuring left subtree values are less and right subtree values are greater, while validating the entire tree structure.

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:

  • 104-10^{4} \leq Node.data 104\leq 10^{4}

  • The tree contains nodes in the range [1,500][1, 500].
