Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have a series of values to insert into a binary search tree: 10, 20, 5, 3, 7, 15. Construct the tree and perform in-order traversal.
💡 Hint: Visualize inserting in sequential order while following the BST property.
Given a binary search tree with values (5, 3, 8, 1, 4, 7, 9), if you were to delete the node with value 3, how would you proceed, and what would the new in-order traversal be?
💡 Hint: Understand that deleting a node involves maintaining the BST properties.
