LeetCode 700. Search in a Binary Search Tree (javascript)

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.

Example 1:

Input: root = [4,2,7,1,3], val = 2
Output: [2,1,3]

Example 2:

Input: root = [4,2,7,1,3], val = 5
Output: []

Constraints:

The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 5000].
1 <= Node.val <= 10⁷
root is a binary search tree.
1 <= val <= 10⁷

Solution:

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * function TreeNode(val, left, right) {
 *     this.val = (val===undefined ? 0 : val)
 *     this.left = (left===undefined ? null : left)
 *     this.right = (right===undefined ? null : right)
 * }
 */
/**
 * @param {TreeNode} root
 * @param {number} val
 * @return {TreeNode}
 */
var searchBST = function(root, val) {
    if (root === null) return null
    if (root.val === val)
        return root;
    else if (val < root.val)
        return searchBST(root.left, val);
    else
        return searchBST(root.right, val);
};
