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 3Binary tree
[2,1,3]
, return true.
Example 2:
1 / \ 2 3Binary tree
[1,2,3]
, return false.
