The binary and binary search trees

A node in a binary tree has two children at most: one left child and one right child. This definition allows us to write more efficient algorithms to insert, search, and delete nodes to/from a tree. Binary trees are largely used in computer science.

A binary search tree (BST) is a binary tree, but it only allows you to store nodes with lesser values on the left-hand side and nodes with greater values on the right-hand side. The diagram in the previous topic exemplifies a binary search tree.

This will be the data structure that we will work on in this chapter.
