Pull Request Overview

This PR implements a solution for the LeetCode problem 235 "Lowest Common Ancestor of a Binary Search Tree" along with comprehensive unit tests. The solution leverages the properties of Binary Search Trees to efficiently find the lowest common ancestor of two nodes.

• Adds a recursive solution that uses BST properties to traverse only the necessary path
• Includes comprehensive test coverage with three test cases covering different scenarios
• Provides time and space complexity analysis in code comments

Use JUnit assertions instead of Java assert statements. Replace with assertEquals(6, result.val) for better test failure messages and IDE integration.

The test creates new TreeNode instances with only values, but the algorithm needs to work with actual nodes from the tree. The p and q nodes should reference the existing nodes in the tree structure, not new instances with the same values.

The method doesn't handle null values for root, p, or q parameters. If any of these are null, accessing .val will throw a NullPointerException. Consider adding null checks at the beginning of the method.

[Copilot]

Potential NullPointerException if root.right is null. The method should check if root.right exists before making the recursive call.
