题目：
Given an array of numbers, verify whether it is the correct preorder traversal sequence of a binary search tree.
You may assume each number in the sequence is unique.
Follow up:
Could you do it using only constant space complexity?

题解：
使用Stack来模拟preorder traversal -> mid, left, right。主要代码都是参考了Stefan Pochmann的解答。
Time Complexity - O(n)， Space Complexity - O(logn)
public class Solution { public boolean verifyPreorder(int[] preorder) { int low = Integer.MIN_VALUE; Stack<Integer> stack = new Stack<>(); for(int i : preorder) { if(i < low) return false; while(!stack.isEmpty() && i > stack.peek()) low = stack.pop(); stack.push(i); } return true; } }
不使用Stack，Space Complexity O(1)的解法， 利用了原数组
public class Solution { public boolean verifyPreorder(int[] preorder) { int low = Integer.MIN_VALUE, index = -1; for(int i : preorder) { if(i < low) return false; while(index >= 0 && i > preorder[index]) low = preorder[index--]; preorder[++index] = i; } return true; } }
