LeetCode 98. Validate Binary Search Tree

题目描述:

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   3

Binary tree

[2,1,3]

, return true.

Example 2:

  1
 / \
2   3

Binary tree

[1,2,3]

, return false.

验证一个二叉搜索树是否合法, 使用递归的方法来依次遍历左右子树.
