Search in a Binary Search Tree

Leetcode problem 700; Difficulty: Easy

Problem Statement

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.

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

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: []
