98. Validate Binary Search Tree

题目

Given a binary tree, determine if it is a valid binary search tree (BST).

Assume a 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.

xample 1:

    2
   / \
  1   3

Input: [2,1,3]
Output: true

Example 2:

    5
   / \
  1   4
     / \
    3   6

Input: [5,1,4,null,null,3,6]
Output: false
Explanation: The root node's value is 5 but its right child's value is 4.

题目大意

给定一个二叉树，判断其是否是一个有效的二叉搜索树。假设一个二叉搜索树具有如下特征：

• 节点的左子树只包含小于当前节点的数。
• 节点的右子树只包含大于当前节点的数。
• 所有左子树和右子树自身必须也是二叉搜索树。

解题思路

• 判断一个树是否是 BST，按照定义递归判断即可
