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.
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
