【LeetCode】95. Unique Binary Search Trees II

Unique Binary Search Trees II

Given n, generate all structurally unique BST's (binary search trees) that store values 1...n.

For example,
Given n = 3, your program should return all 5 unique BST's shown below.

   1         3     3      2      1
           /     /      /       
     3     2     1      1   3      2
    /     /                        
   2     1         2                 3

由于1~n是升序列，因此建起来的树天然就是BST。

递归思想，依次选择根节点，对左右子序列再分别建树。

由于左右子序列建树的结果也可能不止一种，需要考虑所有搭配情况。

vector<TreeNode *> left代表所有valid左子树。

vector<TreeNode *> right代表所有valid右子树。
