#98 Validate Binary Search Tree

Medium Acceptance 0%
description

Problem Description

Given the `root` of a binary tree, determine if it is a valid binary search tree (BST). A valid BST is defined as follows: - 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 must also be binary search trees.

checklist Constraints

The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 10^4].
-2^31 <= Node.val <= 2^31 - 1

science Examples

Case #1

In: root = [2,1,3]
Out: true

Case #2

In: root = [5,1,4,null,null,3,6]
Out: false
