Validate Binary Search 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.

Hi 👋
I can help you to build intuition for validating if binary tree is a search tree. At first let's remember - how many children has every node of a binary tree?
