Solution: Validate Binary Search Tree
Explore how to validate a binary search tree by performing an in-order traversal to check node values in strictly increasing order. Understand the use of a previous node tracker for correctness and learn the time and space complexity involved, enabling you to implement the validation confidently.

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:
-
