98. Validate Binary Search Tree

Problem Given the root of a binary tree, determine if it is a valid binary search tree (BST). A valid BST is defined as follows: * The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys less than the node's key. * The right subtree of a node contains

509. Fibonacci Number

Problem The Fibonacci numbers, commonly denoted F(n) form a sequence, called the Fibonacci sequence, such that each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting from 0 and 1. That is, F(0) = 0, F(1) = 1 F(n) = F(n - 1) + F(n - 2)

589. N-ary Tree Preorder Traversal

Problem Given the root of an n-ary tree, return the preorder traversal of its nodes' values. Nary-Tree input serialization is represented in their level order traversal. Each group of children is separated by the null value (See examples) Example 1: Input: root = [1,null,3,2,4,null,5,
