"What is a Binary Search Tree (BST) A Binary Search Tree (BST) is a special kind of binary tree where each node has at most two children and the left child always holds a smaller value than the parent while the right child holds a greater value. This structure makes it efficient for searching inserting and deleting data all in O(log n) time on average. https://www.youtube.com/playlistlist=PLJq-63ZRPdBt423WbyAD1YZO0Ljo1pzvY https://www.youtube.com/playlistlist=PLJq-63ZRPdBssWTtcUlbngD_O5HaxXu6k https://www.youtube.com/playlistlist=PLJq-63ZRPdBu38EjXRXzyPat3sYMHbIWU"
