Binary Search Trees

A Binary Search Tree (BST) is a type of data structure used to organize data efficiently. Imagine a tree where each node contains a value, and each node has up to two children: a left child and a right child. In a BST, values in the left subtree are smaller than the parent node, and values in the right subtree are larger. This structure allows quick searching, inserting, and deleting of data because it systematically narrows down options at each step, making operations faster compared to a simple list. It's widely used in databases and algorithms for its efficiency.
