An ordered array in accordance with the ascending order, is converted to a highly balanced binary search tree.
In this problem, a highly balanced binary tree is a binary tree refers to the left and right sub-tree of each node is the height difference between the absolute value of not more than 1.
Example:
Given an ordered array: [-10, -3,0,5,9],
One possible answer is: [0, -3,9, -10, null, 5], it can be expressed below this height balanced binary search tree:
0
/ \
-3 9
/ /
-10 5
solution:
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* public class TreeNode {
* public var val: Int
* public var left: TreeNode?
* public var right: TreeNode?
* public init(_ val: Int) {
* self.val = val
* self.left = nil
* self.right = nil
* }
* }

func gBST(_ nums: [Int], _ l: Int, _ r: Int) -> TreeNode? {

let node = TreeNode(nums[mid]);
node.left = gBST(nums, l, mid);
node.right = gBST(nums, mid + 1, r);
