# Closest Binary Search Tree Value

Given a non-empty binary search tree and a target value, find the value in the BST that is closest to the target.

**Note:**

* Given target value is a floating point.
* You are guaranteed to have only one unique value in the BST that is closest to the target.

## **Example**

```
Input:
 root = [4,2,5,1,3], target = 3.714286

    4
   / \
  2   5
 / \
1   3


Output:
 4
```

## Note

分治的做，找左边和右边

## Code

```java
/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    public int closestValue(TreeNode root, double target) {
        if (root == null) {
            return Integer.MIN_VALUE;
        }
        if (root.val > target) {
            if (root.left != null) {
                int left = closestValue(root.left, target);
                if (Math.abs(left - target) < Math.abs(root.val - target)) {
                    return left;
                }
            }
        } else {
            if (root.right != null) {
                int right = closestValue(root.right, target);
                if (Math.abs(right - target) < Math.abs(root.val - target)) {
                    return right;
                }
            }
        }

        return root.val;
    }
}

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://luj.gitbook.io/code/tree/bst/closest-binary-search-tree-value.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
