This document discusses binary search trees. It defines a binary search tree as a binary tree where every node contains values smaller in its left subtree and larger in its right subtree. It describes operations on binary search trees like searching, inserting, deleting data, and traversing the tree. Algorithms for each operation are provided with steps. Advantages of binary search trees include efficient sorting and search algorithms. A disadvantage is the tree shape depends on insertion order and searching can take a long time comparing key values.
