Solution: Find Minimum Value in Binary Search Tree

Explore how to find the minimum value in a binary search tree using both iterative and recursive approaches. Understand the traversal logic, base cases, and performance trade-offs in time and space complexity for balanced and skewed trees.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given the root node of a binary search tree (BST), find and return the minimum value present in the BST.

Constraints:

Let n be the number of nodes in a binary search tree.

  • 0≤0 \leq n ≤500\leq500

  • −104≤-10^4\leq Node.data ≤104\leq10^4 ...

Solution 1: Iterative approach
