Solution: Inorder Successor in BST

Explore how to determine the inorder successor of a given node in a binary search tree by applying depth-first search traversal. Understand the algorithm that leverages BST properties to efficiently track the smallest node greater than the target, and analyze time and space complexities involved.

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 ...
