LeetCode 669 Trim a Binary Search Tree (递归 推荐)

Given the root of a binary search tree and the lowest and highest boundaries as low and high, trim the tree so that all its elements lies in [low, high]. Trimming the tree should not change the relative structure of the elements that will remain in the tree (i.e., any node's descendant should remain a descendant). It can be proven that there is a unique answer.

Return the root of the trimmed binary search tree. Note that the root may change depending on the given bounds.

Example 1:

Input: root = [1,0,2], low = 1, high = 2
Output: [1,null,2]

Example 2:

Input: root = [3,0,4,null,2,null,null,1], low = 1, high = 3
Output: [3,2,null,1]

Example 3:

Input: root = [1], low = 1, high = 2
Output: [1]

Example 4:

Input: root = [1,null,2], low = 1, high = 3
Output: [1,null,2]

Example 5:

Input: root = [1,null,2], low = 2, high = 4
Output: [2]

Constraints:

• The number of nodes in the tree in the range [1, 104].
• 0 <= Node.val <= 104
• The value of each node in the tree is unique.
• root is guaranteed to be a valid binary search tree.
• 0 <= low <= high <= 104

题目大意：删除二叉搜索树中不在给定区间内的节点，且保持原来的结构不变

题目分析：考察递归的好问题，根据二叉搜索树的特性，可以判断当前根节点和区间范围的大小关系来二分递归
