一、问题描述
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:
2 / \ 1 3Binary tree [2,1,3], return true.
Example 2:
1 / \ 2 3Binary tree [1,2,3], return false.
二、思路
按照二叉树的定义,对一个节点来说,左子树所有值都小于它,右子树所有值都大于它。
三、代码
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
bool isValidBST(TreeNode* root){
TreeNode* pre = NULL;
return isValid(root,pre);
}
bool isValid(TreeNode* root,TreeNode* &prev){
if(root == NULL) return true;
if (!isValid(root->left, prev)) return false;
if (prev != NULL && prev->val >= root->val) return false;
prev = root;
return isValid(root -> right, prev);
}
};
