700. Search in a Binary Search Tree

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

class Solution {
public:
    TreeNode* searchBST(TreeNode* root, int val) {
        
        if(root==NULL)
            return 0;
        if(root->val==val)
            return root;
        if(root->val<val)
            return searchBST(root->right,val);
        else
            return searchBST(root->left,val);
    }
};
