Binary Search Tree Binary Search tree can be defined as a class of binary trees, in which the nodes are arranged in a specific order. This is also called ordered binary tree. In a binary search tree, the value of all the nodes in the left sub-tree is less than the value of the root. Similarly, value of all the nodes in the right sub-tree is greater than or equal to the value of the root. This rule will be recursively applied to all the left and right sub-trees of the root. A Binary search tree is shown in the above figure. As the constraint applied on the BST, we can see that the root node 30 doesn't contain any value greater than or equal to 30 in its left sub-tree and it also doesn't contain any value less than 30 in its right sub-tree. Advantages of using binary search tree Searching become very efficient in a binary search tree since, we get a hint at each step, about which sub-tree contains the desired element. The binary search tree is considered as effi
