Closest Binary Search Tree Value II(LeetCode 272):

Problem

Given the root of a binary search tree, a target value, and an integer k, return the k values in the BST that are closest to the target. You may return the answer in any order.

You are guaranteed to have only one unique set of k values in the BST that are closest to the target.

 

Example 1:

Input: root = [4,2,5,1,3], target = 3.714286, k = 2
Output: [4,3]

Example 2:

Input: root = [1], target = 0.000000, k = 1
Output: [1]

 

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is n.
  • 1 <= k <= n <= 104.
  • 0 <= Node.val <= 109
  • -109 <= target <= 109

 

Follow up: Assume that the BST is balanced. Could you solve it in less than O(n) runtime (where n = total nodes)?
