title: Red Black Tree ~ 1 Child Deletes
body: <p>Is it ever possible for a red parent node to have just ONE black child node? I have been playing around with the Red/Black Tree simulator online and I can't manage to get a case of this to happen.</p>
  
  <p>The reason behind asking this is I believe I have an unnecessary IF in my code...</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (temp_node-&gt;color == BLACK &amp;&amp; node-&gt;color == RED)
  {
      node-&gt;color = BLACK;
      global_violation = false;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks for any Feedback!!</p>
