Solution: Inorder Successor in BST

Understand how to find the inorder successor of a given node in a binary search tree by applying an efficient depth-first search traversal. Learn to leverage BST properties to discard irrelevant branches and track potential successors, optimizing your solution for coding interviews.

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 p is the node with the smallest value greater than p.data in the binary search tree.

Constraints:

  • The tree contains nodes in the range ...
