# Remove Node in Binary Search Tree

Given a root of Binary Search Tree with unique value for each node. Remove the node with given value. If there is no such a node with given value in the binary search tree, do nothing. You should keep the tree still a binary search tree after removal.

## Example

Given binary search tree:

```
    5
   / \
  3   6
 / \
2   4
```

Remove 3, you can either return:

```
    5
   / \
  2   6
   \
    4
```

or

```
    5
   / \
  4   6
 /
2
```

## Solution

```
"""
Definition of TreeNode:
class TreeNode:
    def __init__(self, val):
        self.val = val
        self.left, self.right = None, None
"""
class Solution:
    """
    @param root: The root of the binary search tree.
    @param value: Remove the node with given value.
    @return: The root of the binary search tree after removal.
    """    
    def removeNode(self, root, value):
        # write your code here
        if root == None:
            return None
        if root.val == value:
            root = self.removeNode(root.left, value)
```
