LeetCode: Unique Binary Search Trees II


Given n, generate all structurally unique BST's (binary search trees) that store values 1...n.
For example, Given n = 3, your program should return all 5 unique BST's shown below.
   1         3     3      2      1
    \       /     /      / \      \
     3     2     1      1   3      2
    /     /       \                 \
   2     1         2                 3

confused what  "{1,#,2,3}"  means? > read more on how binary tree is serialized on OJ.
