LeetCode 669. Trim a Binary Search Tree

Given a binary search tree and the lowest and highest boundaries as L and R, trim the tree so that all its elements lies in [L, R] (R >= L). You might need to change the root of the tree, so the result should return the new root of the trimmed binary search tree.

Example 1:

Input: 
    1
   / 
  0   2

  L = 1
  R = 2

Output: 
    1
      
       2

Example 2:

Input: 
    3
   / 
  0   4
   
    2
   /
  1

  L = 1
  R = 3

Output: 
      3
     / 
   2   
  /
 1

树的递归遍历

class Solution {
public:
    TreeNode* trimBST(TreeNode* root, int L, int R) {
        if (root == NULL) return NULL;
        if (root->val < L) return trimBST(root->right, L, R);
        if (root->val > R) return trimBST(root->left, L, R);
        root->left = trimBST(root->left, L, R);
        root->right = trimBST(root->right, L, R);
        return root;
    }
