98 Validate Binary Search Tree

1 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 thanthe 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:

Input:
    2
   / \
  1   3
Output: true

Example 2:

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

bool isValidBST(TreeNode* root) {
    return isValidBST(root, NULL, NULL);
}

bool isValidBST(TreeNode* root, TreeNode* minNode, TreeNode* maxNode) {
    if(!root) return true;
    if(minNode && root->val <= minNode->val || maxNode && root->val >= maxNode->val)
        return false;
    return isValidBST(root->left, minNode, root) && isValidBST(root->right, root, maxNode);
