Tree

Validate BST

**Problem Statement:** Given the required input arguments, write an efficient algorithm to solve the **Validate BST** problem. Implement the required logic as specified by standard definitions for this classic algorithmic challenge. **Hint / Expected Approach:** DFS with (min, max) bounds **Edge Cases to Consider:** - (1) Duplicate values - (2) Single node - (3) Violates BST at grandparent level

Examples

Example 1
Input: [2,1,3]
Output: true
Explanation: Simple valid BST
Example 2
Input: [5,1,4,null,null,3,6]
Output: false
Explanation: Right child 4 < root 5
Example 3
Input: []
Output: true
Explanation: Empty tree is valid BST

Constraints

  • ▪The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 2000]
  • ▪-1000 &lt;= Node.val &lt;= 1000
  • ▪Ensure depth-first or breadth-first traversals are memory-efficient

Watch Out For Edge Cases

  • ▪Duplicate values
  • ▪Single node
  • ▪Violates BST at grandparent level
