A binary search tree (BST) is a data structure that organizes elements in a hierarchical structure, allowing for efficient search, insertion, and deletion operations. Here are the key properties and operations associated with a binary search tree: Properties of a Binary Search Tree: Binary Tree Structure: Each node in the tree has at most two children: a left child and a right child. The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with values less than the node's value. The right subtree of a node contains only nodes with values greater than the node's value. Ordering Property: For any node n , all nodes in its left subtree have values less than n, and all nodes in its right subtree have values greater than n . No Duplicates: A binary search tree does not allow duplicate values. Example: Figure shows a binary search tree. Notice that this tree is obtained by inserting the values 13, 3, 4, 12, 14, 10, 5, 1, 8, 2, 7, 9, 11, 6, 18 in that order,
