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:** ![](https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2020/09/04/del_node_1.jpg) **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. ![](https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2020/09/04/del_node_supp.jpg) **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)`?
