findMinHeight
and findMaxHeight
. These methods should return an integer value for the minimum and maximum height within a given binary tree, respectively. If the node is empty let's assign it a height of -1
(that's the base case). Finally, add a third method isBalanced
which returns true
or false
depending on whether the tree is balanced or not. You can use the first two methods you just wrote to determine this.
BinarySearchTree
data structure exists.
