Solution: Inorder Successor in BST

Explore how to locate the inorder successor of a given node in a binary search tree by applying depth-first search. Understand how BST properties guide efficient traversal to identify the smallest value greater than the target node. This lesson helps you implement a solution with optimal time and space complexity using algorithmic reasoning and tree traversal techniques.

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 ...
