Using Inheritance from this Binary Tree how would I construct a Red Black Tree's "Remove" function in Java?

I know I need to overload the operator but not sure what to do from there...

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction to the Task

Transitioning from a basic Binary Tree to a Red-Black Tree (RBT) is like jumping from undergraduate studies straight into a postgraduate program. It's challenging, but entirely worthwhile. Red-Black Trees are self-balancing binary search trees, where each node has an additional bit for denoting the color of the node, either red or black. The core principle behind the operations of a Red-Black Tree (insertion, deletion, etc.) is to ensure the tree remains balanced, and no path from the root to any leaf is more than twice as long as any other.

For your endeavor, you're looking to implement the remove function for a Red-Black Tree, inheriting properties from a Binary Tree. This is one of the most intricate operations for Red-Black Trees, given the balancing act (pun intended!) that has to occur after a node is removed.
