Largest BST in a Binary Tree | Set 3

Method 3 (Shorter, Smarter and More Efficient) 

In this section, a different O(n) solution is discussed. This solution is simpler than the solutions discussed in Set-1 and Set-2 and works in O(n) time. In this method, we do not need to check explicitly if the binary tree is BST. A Tree is BST if the following is true for every node x. 

1. The largest value in the left subtree (of x) is smaller than the value of x.
2. The smallest value in the right subtree (of x) is greater than the value of x.

So, we will just check if the largest value of the left subtree is less than the value of the root node and the smallest value of right subtree is greater than the value of root node.

We will use a array/list ans :

• ans[0]=minimum value
• ans[1]=maximum value
• ans[2]=size of current largest BST

Algorithm:

1. If root==None:
return INT_MAX,INT_MIN,0
2. If (root.left==None and root.right==None):
             return root.data,root.data,1
3. Initialize ans=[0,0,0]
4. Check if the largest value of the left subtree is less than the value of the root node and the smallest value of the right subtree is greater than the value of the root node, if this holds true, update the ans accordingly and return ans.
5. If 4 is false, we will assign values as IMIN,IMAX, max(left[2],right[2] and return ans.
