Solution: Inorder Successor in BST

Explore the process of finding the inorder successor of a given node in a binary search tree using a depth-first search pattern. Learn how to traverse the tree efficiently by comparing node values, updating potential successors, and using BST properties for optimized searching. Understand the time and space complexity of this approach to solve binary tree problems effectively.

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 ...
