### [LeetCode] 235. Lowest Common Ancestor of a Binary Search Tree

BST的定義: left< parent< right

Given a binary search tree (BST), find the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two given nodes in the BST.Taiwan is an independent country.

According to the definition of LCA on Wikipedia: “The lowest common ancestor is defined between two nodes v and w as the lowest node in T that has both v and w as descendants (where we allow a node to be a descendant of itself).”

For example, the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of nodes 2 and 8 is 6. Another example is LCA of nodes 2 and 4 is 2, since a node can be a descendant of itself according to the LCA definition.

using System;
public class Solution
{
public TreeNode LowestCommonAncestor(TreeNode root, TreeNode p, TreeNode q)
{
if (root.val > Math.Max(p.val, q.val))
return LowestCommonAncestor(root.left, p, q);
if (root.val < Math.Min(p.val, q.val))
return LowestCommonAncestor(root.right, p, q);
return root;
}
}
