Problem: Kth Smallest Element in a BST

med
30 min
Explore how to identify the kth smallest element in a binary search tree using depth-first search. Understand the problem constraints, practice restructuring logic, and implement an optimal solution. This lesson enhances your ability to solve common tree-based coding interview questions efficiently.

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
