Convert BST to Greater Tree in C++

Suppose we have a Binary Search Tree, we have to convert it into a Greater Tree such that every key of the original BST is changed to the original key + sum of all keys greater than the original key in BST.

So, if the input is like

then the output will be

To solve this, we will follow these steps −

• Define a function revInorder(), this will take tree root and s,

• if root is null, then −

  • return

• revInorder(right of root, s)

• s := s + val of root

• val of root := s

• revInorder(left of root, s)

• From the main method, do the following −

• if root is null, then −

  • return null

• sum := 0

• revInorder(root, sum)

• return root

Example 

Let us see the following implementation to get a better understanding −

Input

{5,2,8,NULL,NULL,6,9}

Output

[28, 30, 17, null, null, 23, 9, ]
