Problem

You are given the root of a binary search tree (BST) and an integer val. Find the node in the BST that the node’s value equals val and return the subtree rooted with that node. If such a node does not exist, return null.

Examples

Example 1
Example 2

Constraints

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 5000].
  • 1 <= Node.val <= 10^7
  • root is a binary search tree.
  • 1 <= val <= 10^7
