700. Search in a Binary Search Tree

Easy

You are given the root of a binary search tree (BST) and an integer val.

Find the node in the BST that the node’s value equals val and return the subtree rooted with that node. If such a node does not exist, return null.

Example 1:

Input: root = [4,2,7,1,3], val = 2

Output: [2,1,3]

Example 2:

Input: root = [4,2,7,1,3], val = 5

Output: []

Constraints:

• The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 5000].
• 1 <= Node.val <= 107
• root is a binary search tree.
• 1 <= val <= 107

Solution

import com_github_leetcode.TreeNode;

/*
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode() {}
 *     TreeNode(int val) { this.val = val; }
 *     TreeNode(int val, TreeNode left, TreeNode right) {
 *         this.val = val;
 *         this.left = left;
 *         this.right = right;
 *     }
 * }

public class Solution {
    public TreeNode searchBST(TreeNode root, int val) {
        while (root != null && root.val != val) {
            if (root.val > val) {
                root = root.left;
            } else {
                root = root.right;
            }
        }
        return root;
    }
}
