Given a binary search tree, write a function kthSmallest to find the kth smallest element in it.
Note: You may assume k is always valid, 1 ≤ k ≤ BST's total elements.Example 1:Input: root = [3,1,4,null,2], k = 1 3 / \ 1 4 \ 2Output: 1
Example 2:
Input: root = [5,3,6,2,4,null,null,1], k = 3 5 / \ 3 6 / \ 2 4 / 1Output: 3
Follow up:
What if the BST is modified (insert/delete operations) often and you need to find the kth smallest frequently? How would you optimize the kthSmallest routine?难度:medium
题目:给定二叉搜索树,找出其值第K小的结点。
思路:中序遍历
