Create a programme that receives an integer N from the command line, produces a random BST of size N, then enters a loop that deletes a random key (using the code delete(select(StdRandom.uniform(N))) and then inserts a random key, looping N times. Calculate and show the average length of a path in the tree after the loop (the internal path length divided by N, plus 1). Run your programme for N = 102, 103, and 104 to verify the rather paradoxical claim that this strategy increases the average route length of the tree in proportion to the square root of N. Experiment with a remove() implementation that randomly selects whether to use the previous or successor node.
