98. Validate Binary Search Tree

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   3

Binary tree  [2,1,3] , return true.

Example 2:

    1
   / \
  2   3

Binary tree  [1,2,3] , return false.

参照中序遍历模板JAVA 二叉树遍历，增加一个prev的节点。代码如下：

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
public class Solution {
    public boolean isValidBST(TreeNode root) {
        Stack<TreeNode> stack = new Stack<TreeNode>();
        TreeNode prev = null;
        while (root != null || stack.size() > 0) {
            while (root != null) {
                stack.push(root);
                root = root.left;
            }
            root = stack.pop();
            if (prev != null && prev.val >= root.val) {
                return false;
            }
            prev = root;
            root = root.right;
        }
        return true;
    }
}
