Solution: Inorder Successor in BST

Explore how to determine the inorder successor of a given node in a binary search tree through depth-first search. Understand how to navigate the tree efficiently by comparing node values to locate the smallest node greater than the target. This lesson guides you through the step-by-step approach and the logic behind updating potential successors during traversal, offering insight into time and space complexity considerations.

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 ...
