Solution: Inorder Successor in BST
Explore the process of finding the inorder successor of a given node in a binary search tree. Understand how the depth-first search technique and BST properties help efficiently locate the node with the smallest value greater than the target node. This lesson guides you through an algorithm to traverse the tree while minimizing search space, with insights into time and space complexity for balanced and skewed trees.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given the root node of a binary search tree and a specific node p. Your task is to return the inorder successor of this p node. If there is no inorder successor of the given node, return NULL.
Note: The inorder successor of
pis the node with the smallest value greater thanp.datain the binary search tree.
Constraints:
The tree contains nodes in the range
