Given a Binary Search Tree (BST) with the root nodeĀ root
, returnĀ the minimum difference between the values of any two different nodes in the tree.
Example :
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
Input: root = [4,2,6,1,3,null,null] Output: 1 Explanation: Note that root is a TreeNode object, not an array. The given tree [4,2,6,1,3,null,null] is represented by the following diagram: 4 / \ 2 6 / \ 1 3 while the minimum difference in this tree is 1, it occurs between node 1 and node 2, also between node 3 and node 2. |
Note:
- The size of the BST will be between 2 andĀ
100
. - The BST is always valid, each node’s value is an integer, and each node’s value is different.
Solution 1: In order traversalĀ
Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(n)
