Trim a binary search tree
Given the root of a binary search tree and the lowest and highest boundaries as low and high, trim the tree so that all its elements lies in [low, high]. Trimming the tree should not change the relative structure of the elements that will remain in the tree (i.e., any node's descendant should remain a descendant). It can be proven that there is a unique answer.
Return the root of the trimmed binary search tree. Note that the root may change depending on the given bounds.
class Solution:
def trimBST(self, root, low, high):
def dfs(node):
if not node: return node
if node.val > high:
return dfs(node.left)
elif node.val < low:
return dfs(node.right)
else:
node.left = dfs(node.left)
node.right = dfs(node.right)
return node
return dfs(root)
