Draw the tree resulting from inserting the following values into a binary search tree in order without re-balancing: 40, 10, 60, 30, 20, 90, 70, 50 Null pointers can be omitted as long as it is clear whether a single child is a left or right child. THEN For every node in the tree, the values that can be in the subtree rooted at that node are constrained by ancestors to be in some range of integers. The root (the...
