sort the binary tree values descendingly. the maximum one is the root of BST, the second one is the left side of root and etc.
The depth of tree would be O(n). The order of algorithm is O(nlogn).

int largestBST(TreeNode t) {

				largestBST(t.getRightChild()));
	}

	boolean isBST(TreeNode t){
		if(t == null || (t.getLeftChild() == null && t.getRightChild() == null)){
			return true;

	int sizeBST(TreeNode t) {

Do inorder traversal, at each node check whether child is BST or not. If it is BST, then return the node else recursively traverse the left and right sub tree.
