【Lowest Common Ancestor of a Binary Search Tree】cpp

题目：

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

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).”

   /      \        /      \
   0      _4       7       9
         /  \
         3   5

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.

            if ( p->val>q->val ) swap(p, q);
            if ( root->val>=p->val && root->val<=q->val )
            {
                return root;
            }
            else if ( root->val < p->val )
            {
                return Solution::lowestCommonAncestor(root->right, p, q);
            }

            {
                return Solution::lowestCommonAncestor(root->left, p, q);
            }
    }
};
