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.
 * class TreeNode {
 *     public $val = null;
 *     public $left = null;
 *     public $right = null;
 *     function __construct($val = 0, $left = null, $right = null) {
 *         $this->val = $val;
 *         $this->left = $left;
 *         $this->right = $right;
 *     }
 * }

    /**

        return $this->solve($root, PHP_INT_MIN, PHP_INT_MAX);
    }

    private function solve($root, $left, $right) {
        if ($root == null) {
            return true;
        }
        if ($root->val <= $left || $root->val >= $right) {
            return false;
        }
        return $this->solve($root->left, $left, $root->val) && $this->solve($root->right, $root->val, $right);
    }
