Solution: Validate Binary Search Tree

Explore the method to validate a binary search tree by performing in-order traversal and ensuring node values are strictly increasing. Learn to implement this algorithm to confirm BST properties efficiently, with analysis of time and space complexity.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

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

A binary tree is a valid BST if for every node:

  • 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 are valid BSTs.

Constraints:

  • ...
