Solution: Inorder Successor in BST
Explore how to find the inorder successor of a given node in a binary search tree using a depth-first search approach. Understand how to leverage BST properties to efficiently navigate the tree and determine the node with the smallest value greater than the target. This lesson guides you through the algorithm, implementing comparisons and subtree traversal to solve the problem with optimal time and space complexity.
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
