What is bst meaning?

BST stands for Binary Search Tree. It is a hierarchical data structure in computer science and a specific type of tree structure used in various algorithms for storing and retrieving data. In a binary search tree, each node has at most two child nodes, and the left child node must have a value less than the parent node while the right child node must have a value greater than or equal to the parent node. This structure allows for efficient searching, insertion, and deletion operations. BSTs are commonly used in programming languages like C++ and Java, and they have many practical applications such as in database indexing and compiler implementations.
