Lowest Common Ancestor of a BST
Last updated
What is Lowest Common Ancestor of a BST?
Given a BST and two nodes, find their lowest common ancestor. Because it is a BST, you can use the values to decide whether to go left, right, or stop: the ancestor is where the two nodes diverge. This problem teaches you to exploit BST ordering as a navigation tool, rather than doing a general tree search.
