Solution: Validate Binary Search Tree

Explore how to verify whether a binary tree is a valid binary search tree using in-order traversal. Understand the method to track node values and ensure they follow BST properties, developing skills to implement and analyze the algorithm's 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:

  • ...
