530. Minimum Absolute Difference in BST

Easy

Given the root of a Binary Search Tree (BST), return the minimum absolute difference between the values of any two different nodes in the tree.

Example 1:

Input: root = [4,2,6,1,3]

Output: 1

Example 2:

Input: root = [1,0,48,null,null,12,49]

Output: 1

/*
 * Example:
 * var ti = TreeNode(5)
 * var v = ti.`val`
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * class TreeNode(var `val`: Int) {
 *     var left: TreeNode? = null
