How do binary search trees work in C++?

Can you explain how binary search trees work in C++?

Sure! A binary search tree (BST) is a data structure that maintains sorted data for efficient searching, insertion, and deletion.

What are the main operations I can perform on a binary search tree?

The main operations include searching for a value, inserting a new value, deleting a value, and traversing the tree.

How does the searching algorithm work in a binary search tree?

In a BST, you start at the root and compare the target value with the current node. If it's smaller, you go left; if larger, you go right.

Can you provide a simple C++ code example for searching in a binary search tree?

Certainly! Here's a simple function:

bool search(Node* root, int key) {
    if (root == nullptr) return false;
    if (root->data == key) return true;
    return key < root->data ? search(root->left, key) : search(root->right, key);
}
