Nth Smallest Item In Binary Search Tree
February 24, 2017
A binary search tree is a binary tree in which all nodes in the left subtree are less than the current node and all nodes in the right subtree are greater than the current node. Items arrive in random order, are inserted into the binary search tree, and an in-order traversal produces the items in ascending order.
Your task is to write a program that finds the nth smallest item in a binary search tree, without enumerating all of the items in the tree. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
