Given a binary search tree (BST), find the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two given nodes in the BST.

According to the definition of LCA on Wikipedia: “The lowest common ancestor is defined between two nodes v and w as the lowest node in T that has both v and w as descendants (where we allow a node to be a descendant of itself).”

        _______6______
       /              \
    ___2__          ___8__
   /      \        /      \
   0      _4       7       9
         /  \
         3   5

For example, the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of nodes 2 and 8 is 6. Another example is LCA of nodes 2 and 4 is 2, since a node can be a descendant of itself according to the LCA definition.

public class Solution235 {

    public boolean findPath(TreeNode root, TreeNode p, List<TreeNode> result) {
        if(root == null) return false;

        if(root == p) {
            result.add(root);
            return true;
        }

        if(root.val >= p.val) {
            result.add(root.left);
            root = root.left;
        } else {
            result.add(root.right);
            root = root.right;
        }

        findPath(root,p,result);
        return true;
    }

    public TreeNode lowestCommonAncestor(TreeNode root, TreeNode p, TreeNode q) {
        List<TreeNode> listp = new ArrayList<TreeNode>();
        List<TreeNode> listq = new ArrayList<TreeNode>();

        listp.add(root);
        listq.add(root);

        findPath(root, p, listp);
        findPath(root, q, listq);

        TreeNode ans = root;

        for (int i = 1, j = 1; i < listp.size() && j < listq.size(); i++, j++) {
            if(listp.get(i).equals(listq.get(j))) {
                ans = listp.get(i);
            } else {
                break;
            }
        }

        return ans;
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        TreeNode p = null, q = null;

        TreeNode root = new TreeNode(6);
        root.left = new TreeNode(2);
        p = root.left;
        root.right = new TreeNode(8);
        //q = root.right;
        root.left.left = new TreeNode(0);
        root.left.right = new TreeNode(4);
        q = root.left.right;
        root.left.right.left = new TreeNode(3);
        root.left.right.right = new TreeNode(5);
        root.right.left = new TreeNode(7);
        root.right.right = new TreeNode(9);

        TreeNode ans = new Solution235().lowestCommonAncestor(root, p, q);

        System.out.println(ans.val);
    }
