450. Delete Node in a BST

Medium

Given a root node reference of a BST and a key, delete the node with the given key in the BST. Return the root node reference (possibly updated) of the BST.

Basically, the deletion can be divided into two stages:

  1. Search for a node to remove.

  2. If the node is found, delete the node.

Example 1:

Input: root = [5,3,6,2,4,null,7], key = 3
Output:
 [5,4,6,2,null,null,7]
Explanation:
 Given key to delete is 3. So we find the node with value 3 and delete it.
One valid answer is [5,4,6,2,null,null,7], shown in the above BST.
Please notice that another valid answer is [5,2,6,null,4,null,7] and it's also accepted.

Example 2:

Input: root = [5,3,6,2,4,null,7], key = 0
Output:
 [5,3,6,2,4,null,7]
Explanation:
 The tree does not contain a node with value = 0.

Example 3:

Input: root = [], key = 0
Output:
 []

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 104].

  • -105 <= Node.val <= 105

  • Each node has a unique value.

  • root is a valid binary search tree.

  • -105 <= key <= 105

Follow up: Could you solve it with time complexity O(height of tree)?

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * type TreeNode struct {
 *     Val int
 *     Left *TreeNode
 *     Right *TreeNode
 * }
 */
func deleteNode(root *TreeNode, key int) *TreeNode {
    if root == nil {
        return root
    }

    if key < root.Val {
        root.Left = deleteNode(root.Left, key)
    } else if key > root.Val {
        root.Right = deleteNode(root.Right, key)
    } else {
        if root.Left == nil && root.Right == nil { //為left node ,直接回傳nil即可
            return nil
        } 

        if root.Left == nil { // 左子樹為空,回傳右子樹
            temp := root.Right
            root.Right = nil
            return temp
        }

        if root.Right == nil { //右子樹為空,回傳左子樹
            temp := root.Left
            root.Left = nil
            return temp
        }

        temp := succesor(root.Right) //從右邊選出最小的值作為繼任的節點
        root.Val = temp.Val
        root.Right = deleteNode(root.Right, temp.Val) //將繼任的節點從右邊刪除
    }

    return root
}

func succesor(root *TreeNode) *TreeNode {
    for root.Left != nil {
        root = root.Left
    }
    return root
}
