Range Sum Query in a BST
Problem
Given the root of a Binary Search Tree and a range [low, high], return the sum of the values of all nodes whose value falls inside that inclusive range.
Input / Output
- Input:
rootof a BST, integerslowandhigh. - Output: the integer sum of all in-range node values.
Constraints
- Up to 10^4 nodes; node values are unique integers.
low <= high.- The BST invariant holds: everything in a node's left subtree is smaller, everything in the right subtree is larger.
Example
- Input:
root = [10,5,15,3,7,null,18],low = 7,high = 15-> Output:32(7 + 10 + 15). - Tricky cases: a range that matches nothing (
low = 100, high = 200) ->0; a range covering everything, which degenerates to a full traversal; andlow == high, which reduces to a plain BST lookup.
