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.
helper用于判断每一个节点的左界和右界,
往左走的时候,左界不变,而右界为当前节点,
往右走的时候,左界为当前节点,而右界不变。
压栈思路:先将全部左节点压入,然后弹出左节点压右节点。在压栈的过程中先比较根节点是否为空,再判断根节点的左右界。
public boolean isValidBST(TreeNode root) {
return helper(root, Integer.MIN_VALUE, Integer.MAX_VALUE);
}
private boolean helper(TreeNode root, int min, int max) {
if (root == null)
return true;
if(root.val<=min || root.val>=max)
return false;
boolean left = helper(root.left, min, root.val);
boolean right = helper(root.right, root.val, max);
return left&&right;
}
