/* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION :
There is a Binary Search Tree given, and we are supposed to find a random node in the given binary tree.
*/
/* ALGORITHM :
Step 1: START
Step 2: First create a binary tree using the steps mentioned in the first approach
Step 3: Now use a method inOrder() that takes a node as input parameter to traverse through the
binary tree in inorder fashion as also store the values in a ArrayList simultaneously.
Step 4: Now define a method getrandom() that takes a node as input parameter, in this first call
the inOrder() method to store the values in the arraylist, then find the size of the binary tree and now just generate a random number between 0 to n-1.
Step 5: After generating the number display the value of the ArrayList at the generated index
Step 6: STOP

// Now lets find the inorder traversal of the given binary tree

list.add(node.item);
// traverse the right child
inOrder(node.right);
}

{
inOrder(val);
// getting the count of node of the binary tree
int n = list.size();
int min = 0;
int max = n - 1;
//Generate random int value from 0 to n-1
int b = (int)(Math.random()*(max-min+1)+min);
// displaying the value at the generated index
int random = list.get(b);
System.out.println("Random Node : " + random);

/* Explanation of the Approach :
(a) Form the required binary tree
(b) Now use the inOrder() method to get the nodes in inOrder fashion and also store them in the given arraylist 'list'
(c) Using the getRandom() method generate a random number between 0 to n-1, then get the value at the generated random number
from the arraylist using get() method and finally display the result.

/* OUTPUT :
First output :
Random Node : 15
Second output :
Random Node : 99
*/
/* Time Complexity : O(n)
Auxiliary Space Complexity : O(1)
