Validate Binary Search Tree

TreeDFSBinary Search TreeBinary Tree

Given the `root` of a binary tree, *determine if it is a valid binary search tree (BST)*.

A **valid 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.

Examples

Example 1
Input: root = [2,1,3]
Output: true
Example 2
Input: root = [5,1,4,null,null,3,6]
Output: false
The root node's value is 5 but its right child's value is 4.

Constraints

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 10^4].
  • -2^31 <= Node.val <= 2^31 - 1
