Solution Review: Delete Node
This review provides a detailed analysis of how to delete the x node from a binary search tree.
Solution
For this solution, there can be three cases for the node that needs to be deleted. Let’s call this node x for simplicity. We’ll discuss each case one-by-one.
Case 1: node x has no children
This is a trivial case, in which we just delete the node (by changing the parent node so that it does not point to x). It is done by directly returning null.
