Hey this is Harshit here.
I just wanted to know if we could directly update the data of root by making a function findmin which returns the integral value of the minimum element of the right subtree. I tried to do it but my final output after deleting some element is coming out exactly the same.
Would appreciate it if anyone could tell me what is wrong in the code;
MY UPDATED CODES.
else // the updated case.
{
root->data=findmin(root->right);
root->right=deleteNode(root->right, root->data);
return root;
}
int findmin(bnode *root) //the findmin function
{
if(root==NULL)
return -1;
else
{
bnode *temp;
temp=root;
while(temp->left!=NULL)
temp=temp->left;
return temp->data;
}
}
