@ashokdey @TheSTL - Raised a new PR because the last PR was raised with the wrong Author information

function arrayToBST(arr, root) {
const node = root;
// Base case
if (!node) return;

You have to return null meaning the tree is empty

Comment on lines 1 to 7
module.exports = class Node {
constructor(value) {
this.value = value;
this.leftChild = null; // will be a node
this.rightChild = null; // will be a node
}

You can re-use the Node class already present in the codebase

Comment on lines +20 to +36
function storeInorder(root) {
/** left - root - right */
if (root === null) return [];

// First store the left subtree
let arr = [];
const left = storeInorder(root.leftChild);
arr = [...left, ...arr];

// Append root's data
arr = [...arr, root.value];

// Store right subtree
const right = storeInorder(root.rightChild);
arr = [...arr, ...right];
return arr;

I think a better way to do this is to create a file inside Problems/tree-traversal directory nd have the following:

  • inorderTraversal(root) : returns array of elements
  • preorderTraversal(root) : returns array of elements
  • so on...

And re-use the function here.

Alternatively, I am going forward to create these as helpers inside DataStructures/Trees/traversal so that they can be re-used

Can you mention the runtime complexity of this function?

// Tree is empty

return null

if (!root) return;
const arr = storeInorder(root);
arr.sort((a, b) => a - b);
arrayToBST(arr, root);

@TheSTL, shouldn't it return a new BST?

@ashokdey Yes, it should return the root node of new created BST.

tree = new Node(10);
tree.leftChild = new Node(30);
tree.leftChild.leftChild = new Node(20);
tree.rightChild = new Node(15);
tree.rightChild.rightChild = new Node(5);

Binary Tree implementation is already present.

@k88manish, you can use this Binary Tree using level order to create the tree here.

-  Return null value
- Using Node Class already existed
- Mentioned Runtime complexity of function
- Return BST root node
- Used BinaryTree implementation to create the tree.

Hi @ashokdey @TheSTL , I have made changes as per the review and also made a correction for the binary search file as it was creating child nodes for null value as well.
