[Solved] 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.

Question

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:

Machine Learning Projects
Input: root = [4,2,7,1,3], val = 2
Output: [2,1,3]

Example 2:

Machine Learning Projects
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

Python Solution

# Definition for a binary tree node.
# class TreeNode:
#     def __init__(self, val=0, left=None, right=None):
#         self.val = val
#         self.left = left
#         self.right = right
class Solution:
    def searchBST(self, root: TreeNode, val: int) -> TreeNode:
        if root and val>root.val:
            return self.searchBST(root.right,val)
        elif root and val<root.val:
            return self.searchBST(root.left,val)
        return root
