Is Sorted

P
A
"""
Given the root of a binary tree, determine if it is a valid binary search tree (BST).

A valid binary search tree is defined as follows:
- The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys less than the node's key.
- The right subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys greater than the node's key.
- Both the left and right subtrees must also be binary search trees.

In effect, a binary tree is a valid BST if its nodes are sorted in ascending order.

If n is the number of nodes in the tree then:
Runtime: O(n)
Space: O(1)
