Frequently Asked Questions on Binary Search Tree
What is Binary Search Tree (BST)?
A Binary Search Tree or BST for short is a tree data structure in which each node has at most two children, called left and right child. According to BST rule, the left node is always smaller than the parent node, and the right node is always greater than the parent node.
How Can We Check if a Given Binary Tree is a BST?
To check if a given binary tree is a binary search tree check the BST rule that states for every node, all the elements in its left subtree are smaller, and all the elements in its right subtree are larger.
What is Balanced BST?
A balanced binary search tree is a BST where the difference in height between the left and the right subtree for every node is not more than 1
Is Binary Search Tree Should Always be Balanced?
Its not compulsory for BST to always be balanced but to get the best performance from a BST, balancing it will be a good choice.
Binary Search Tree in C++
A Binary Search Tree (BST) is a type of binary tree in which the data is organized and stored in a sorted order. Unlike, a binary tree that doesn’t follow a specific order for node placement, in a binary search tree all the elements on the left side of a node are smaller than the node itself, and elements on the right side of a node are greater.
In this article, we will learn more about the binary search tree, operations performed on BST, and implementation of BST, as well as the advantages, disadvantages, and applications of binary search tree in C++.
