95. Unique Binary Search Trees II

Given an integer n, generate all structurally unique BST's (binary search trees) that store values 1 ... n.

Example:

Input: 3
Output:
[
  [1,null,3,2],
  [3,2,null,1],
  [3,1,null,null,2],
  [2,1,3],
  [1,null,2,null,3]
]
Explanation:
The above output corresponds to the 5 unique BST's shown below:

   1         3     3      2      1
    \       /     /      / \      \
     3     2     1      1   3      2
    /     /       \                 \
   2     1         2                 3

难度：medium

题目：给出整数n，生成其所有可能BST.

思路：递归，分别把1到n作为根结点，例如i, 则1到i-1作为左子树，i+1到n作为右子树。
