# [98. Validate Binary Search Tree](https://leetcode.com/problems/validate-binary-search-tree/) ## 题目 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. **xample 1:** 2 / \ 1 3 Input: [2,1,3] Output: true **Example 2**: 5 / \ 1 4 / \ 3 6 Input: [5,1,4,null,null,3,6] Output: false Explanation: The root node's value is 5 but its right child's value is 4. ## 题目大意 给定一个二叉树,判断其是否是一个有效的二叉搜索树。假设一个二叉搜索树具有如下特征: - 节点的左子树只包含小于当前节点的数。 - 节点的右子树只包含大于当前节点的数。 - 所有左子树和右子树自身必须也是二叉搜索树。 ## 解题思路 - 判断一个树是否是 BST,按照定义递归判断即可 ## 代码 ```go package leetcode import "math" /** * Definition for a binary tree node. * type TreeNode struct { * Val int * Left *TreeNode * Right *TreeNode * } */ // 解法一,直接按照定义比较大小,比 root 节点小的都在左边,比 root 节点大的都在右边 func isValidBST(root *TreeNode) bool { return isValidbst(root, math.Inf(-1), math.Inf(1)) } func isValidbst(root *TreeNode, min, max float64) bool { if root == nil { return true } v := float64(root.Val) return v < max && v > min && isValidbst(root.Left, min, v) && isValidbst(root.Right, v, max) } // 解法二,把 BST 按照左中右的顺序输出到数组中,如果是 BST,则数组中的数字是从小到大有序的,如果出现逆序就不是 BST func isValidBST1(root *TreeNode) bool { arr := []int{} inOrder(root, &arr) for i := 1; i < len(arr); i++ { if arr[i-1] >= arr[i] { return false } } return true } func inOrder(root *TreeNode, arr *[]int) { if root == nil { return } inOrder(root.Left, arr) *arr = append(*arr, root.Val) inOrder(root.Right, arr) } ```
