Problem: Recover Binary Search Tree

Explore how to recover a binary search tree where two nodes have been swapped by mistake. Learn to restore the tree without altering its structure and using constant O(1) space by applying Morris inorder traversal and detecting violations in the sorted node order.

Statement

You are given the root of a binary search tree (BST) in which the values of exactly two nodes have been swapped by mistake. Restore the BST to its correct form without altering the structure of the tree.

Note: A solution using O(n)O(n) space is relatively straightforward. Can you devise a constant O(1)O(1) space solution?

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [2,1000 ...
