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:
Input: 2 / \ 1 3Output: true
Example 2:
5 / \ 1 4 / \ 3 6Output: falseExplanation: 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.
recursion
给每个节点定义一个区间,如果节点的值落在区间外,返回false,否则继续递归左右节点,区间上下限相应调整
注意!!min, max如果用int会溢出,要用long
time: O(n), space: O(n)
