What are some common errors in binary search tree implementation?

Some common errors include not maintaining the BST property, incorrect node insertion, and failing to handle duplicates.

Can you explain how to maintain the BST property?

To maintain the BST property, ensure that for any given node, all values in the left subtree are less and all values in the right subtree are greater.

What happens if I don't handle duplicates?

If duplicates are not handled, it can lead to incorrect tree structure and inefficient search operations.

How can I efficiently handle duplicates in a BST?

You can either allow duplicates in a specific way, like counting occurrences, or use a balanced tree structure that supports duplicates.
