binary search tree
A binary search tree is a type of data structure used in computer science. It is a tree-based structure where each node has at most two child nodes: a left child and a right child. The nodes in a binary search tree are sorted in a specific order, such as in ascending or descending order. This sorting property helps in efficiently searching for, inserting, and deleting elements from the tree. The binary search tree combines the properties of both a binary tree and a search algorithm, making it ideal for fast searching and retrieval operations.
