Given a Binary Search Tree with parent pointers, write a program to find the
in-order successor
node of any given node
k
in that tree.
Problem Note
- Inorder successor of a node is the next node in Inorder traversal of the Binary Search Tree. Inorder Successor is NULL for the last node in In-order traversal.
- In BST, Inorder Successor of an input node can also be defined as the node with the smallest key greater than the key of input node . So, it is sometimes important to find next node in sorted order.
For Example
Input: Given BST is below
18
/ \
8 22
/ \
4 12
/ \
11 14
k = 14
Output: 18
Explanation: In-order successor of 14 is 18.
