Problem
You are given a root
to a binary tree and an integer k
. A node of this tree is called great enough if the followings hold:
- Its subtree has at least
k
nodes. - Its value is greater than the value of at least
k
nodes in its subtree.
Return the number of nodes in this tree that are great enough.
The node u
is in the subtree of the nodeĀ v
, if u == v
Ā orĀ v
Ā is anĀ ancestor of u
.

Example 1:
Input: root = [7,6,5,4,3,2,1], k = 2 Output: 3 Explanation: Number the nodes from 1 to 7. The values in the subtree of node 1: {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}. Since node.val == 7, there are 6 nodes having a smaller value than its value. So it's great enough. The values in the subtree of node 2: {3,4,6}. Since node.val == 6, there are 2 nodes having a smaller value than its value. So it's great enough. The values in the subtree of node 3: {1,2,5}. Since node.val == 5, there are 2 nodes having a smaller value than its value. So it's great enough. It can be shown that other nodes are not great enough. See the picture below for a better understanding.
Example 2:
Input: root = [1,2,3], k = 1 Output: 0 Explanation: Number the nodes from 1 to 3. The values in the subtree of node 1: {1,2,3}. Since node.val == 1, there are no nodes having a smaller value than its value. So it's not great enough. The values in the subtree of node 2: {2}. Since node.val == 2, there are no nodes having a smaller value than its value. So it's not great enough. The values in the subtree of node 3: {3}. Since node.val == 3, there are no nodes having a smaller value than its value. So it's not great enough. See the picture below for a better understanding.
Example 3:
Input: root = [3,2,2], k = 2 Output: 1 Explanation: Number the nodes from 1 to 3. The values in the subtree of node 1: {2,2,3}. Since node.val == 3, there are 2 nodes having a smaller value than its value. So it's great enough. The values in the subtree of node 2: {2}. Since node.val == 2, there are no nodes having a smaller value than its value. So it's not great enough. The values in the subtree of node 3: {2}. Since node.val == 2, there are no nodes having a smaller value than its value. So it's not great enough. See the picture below for a better understanding.

Constraints:
- The number of nodes in the tree is in the rangeĀ
[1, 104]
.Ā 1 <= Node.val <= 104
1 <= k <= 10
