bookBST Deletion

There are also some cases while deleting nodes from the tree:

  • Deleting the leaf node;
  • Deleting the node with 1 child;
  • Deleting the node with 2 children.

Deleting the leaf node

We may simple remove the leaf node without any crucial changes in the tree.

Deleting the node with 1 child:

  • Replace that node with its child node;
  • Remove the child node from its original position.

Deleting the node with 2 children:

  • Get the inorder successor of that node;
  • Replace the node with the inorder successor;
  • Remove the inorder successor from its original position.

Everything was clear?

How can we improve it?

Thanks for your feedback!
