98. Validate Binary Search Tree

Medium

Given the root of a binary tree, determine if it is a valid binary search tree (BST).

A valid BST is defined as follows:

Example 1:

Input: root = [2,1,3]

Output: true

Example 2:

Input: root = [5,1,4,null,null,3,6]

Output: false

Explanation: The root node’s value is 5 but its right child’s value is 4.

Constraints:

Solution

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * function TreeNode(val, left, right) {
 *     this.val = (val===undefined ? 0 : val)
 *     this.left = (left===undefined ? null : left)
 *     this.right = (right===undefined ? null : right)
 * }
 */
/**
 * @param {TreeNode} root
 * @return {boolean}
 */
var isValidBST = function(root) {
    if (root.left == null && root.right == null) { return true }
    return validBST(root, Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY, Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY)
};

var validBST = function(root, left, right) {
    if (root == null) { return true}
    if (root.val >= right || root.val <= left) { return false }
    return validBST(root.left, left, root.val) && validBST(root.right, root.val, right)
};

export { isValidBST }
