问题描述

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.

Example 1:

    2
   / \
  1   3

Binary tree  [2,1,3] , return true.

Example 2:

    1
   / \
  2   3

Binary tree  [1,2,3] , return false.

解题思路

要判断二叉树是否为二分查找树只需要将其中序遍历一遍，并将元素依次保存到数组中，看元素是否升序排列即可，注意元素之间不能相等。

代码如下

class Solution {
public:
    bool isValidBST(TreeNode* root) {
        if (root == NULL) return true;
        vector<int> vec;
        inorder(vec, root);
        for (int i = 0; i < vec.size() - 1; i++) {
            if (vec[i] >= vec[i+1]) return false;
        }
        return true;
    }
    
    void inorder(vector<int> &vec, TreeNode* root) {
        if (root == NULL) return;
        inorder(vec, root->left);
        vec.push_back(root->val);
        inorder(vec, root->right);
    }
};
