We have given a binary search tree and we want to delete the leaf nodes from the binary search tree.
Examples:
Input : 20 10 5 15 30 25 35
Output : Inorder before Deleting the leaf node
5 10 15 20 25 30 35
Inorder after Deleting the leaf node
10 20 30
This is the binary search tree where we
want to delete the leaf node.

10 30

5 15 25 35
After deleting the leaf node the binary
search tree looks like
20
/
10 30
We traverse given Binary Search Tree in preorder way. During traversal we check if current node is leaf, if yes, we delete it. Else we recur for left and right children. An important thing to remember is, we must assign new left and right children if there is any modification in roots of subtrees.
