Solution: Inorder Successor in BST

Understand how to determine the inorder successor of a given node in a binary search tree by applying depth-first search. This lesson guides you through the algorithm that efficiently navigates the tree leveraging BST properties, compares node values, and updates potential successors. You will learn to implement this solution with optimal time and space complexity insights.

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 ...
