653 Two Sum IV - Input is a BST

Problem

Given a Binary Search Tree and a target number, return true if there exist two elements in the BST such that their sum is equal to the given target.

Example 1:

Input: 
    5
   / \
  3   6
 / \   \
2   4   7

Target = 9
Output: True

Example 2:

Input: 
    5
   / \
  3   6
 / \   \
2   4   7

Target = 28

Output: False

Solutions:

/**

 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }

        if (appr.contains(k - node.val)) {
            return true;
        }
        appr.add(node.val);
