原题
Given a binary search tree and a node in it, find the in-order successor of that node in the BST.
Given tree = [2,1] and node = 1:
2
/
1
return node 2.
Given tree = [2,1,3] and node = 2:
2
/ \
1 3
return node 3.
解题思路
- successor变量记录root的父亲结点,当while循环结束时,如果原本的root = None或者p不存在与BST中(那么此刻root = None),都返回None
- 找到p之后,如果p没有右儿子,则第一个比它大的数字就是刚刚记录的successor
- 找到p之后,如果有右儿子,则找到右子树中的最左边的值(最小值)
