Cs Notes Binary Search Trees 23 09b346c3

A Binary Search Tree (BST) is a data structure with nodes having at most two children, where left subtree values are smaller and right subtree values are larger. Key operations such as insertion, search, and deletion have a time complexity of O(h), ideally O(log n) for balanced trees. Exercises include implementing BST insertion, finding the height of a BST, and checking if a tree is a valid BST.

Computer Science: Binary Search Trees Notes 23

Introduction
A Binary Search Tree (BST) is a tree data structure where each node has at most two children, with left
subtree values smaller and right subtree values larger.

1. Node Structure
class Node:
def __init__(self, data):
self.data = data
self.left = None
self.right = None
