Discussion on Trees: Is This a Binary Search Tree? Challenge

Here's one way to create the Node Data Structure from Input, in case anyone wants to play with this challenge outside of the Hackerrank Platform.

class Node:
    def __init__(self, data, left=None, right=None):
        self.data = data
        self.left = left
        self.right = right

def make_perfect_btree_node(heap, lower, higher, depth):
    target_idx = int((higher + lower)/ 2)
    if depth == 0:
        return None
    return Node(int(heap[target_idx]),
               make_perfect_btree_node(heap, lower, target_idx, depth - 1),
               make_perfect_btree_node(heap, target_idx, higher, depth - 1))

def construct_perfect_btree_from_input(stream):
    depth = int(stream.readline())
    heap = stream.readline().split()
    return make_perfect_btree_node(heap, 0, len(heap), depth + 1)
		
construct_perfect_btree_from_input(StringIO('''2
1 2 3 4 5 6 7'''))
