search tree

A search tree is a data structure that helps find or organize information efficiently. Imagine it as a branching diagram where each node represents a piece of data or a decision point. Starting from the top (root), you can traverse down branches by following rules to locate specific items or answers. This structure simplifies searching by narrowing options at each step, much like navigating folders on a computer. Search trees are used in many applications, like databases or algorithms, to speed up information retrieval and sorting.
