538 Convert BST to Greater Tree

Given the root of a Binary Search Tree (BST), convert it to a Greater Tree such that every key of the original BST is changed to the original key plus the sum of all keys greater than the original key in BST.

As a reminder, a binary search tree is a tree that satisfies these constraints:

  • The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys less than the node's key.
  • The right subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys greater than the node's key.
  • Both the left and right subtrees must also be binary search trees.

Example 1:

            4 (30)
          /        \
         /          \
    1 (36)           6 (21)
  /   \             /   \
 /     \           /     \
0 (36)  2 (35)   5 (26)  7 (15)
          \                \
           3 (33)           8 (8)


Input: root = [4,1,6,0,2,5,7,null,null,null,3,null,null,null,8]
Output: [30,36,21,36,35,26,15,null,null,null,33,null,null,null,8]

Example 2:

Input: root = [0,null,1]
Output: [1,null,1]

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 104].
  • -104 <= Node.val <= 104
  • All the values in the tree are unique.
  • root is guaranteed to be a valid binary search tree.
