653 Two Sum IV - Input is a BST

Given the root of a binary search tree and an integer k, return true if there exist two elements in the BST such that their sum is equal to k, or false otherwise.

Example 1:

img

Input: root = [5,3,6,2,4,null,7], k = 9
Output: true

Example 2:

img

Input: root = [5,3,6,2,4,null,7], k = 28
Output: false

Solution

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.

 *     int val;

 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode() {}
 *     TreeNode(int val) { this.val = val; }
 *     TreeNode(int val, TreeNode left, TreeNode right) {
 *         this.val = val;
 *         this.left = left;
 *         this.right = right;
