Binary Search Tree Insertion

Explore the process of inserting new values into a binary search tree by following the step-by-step algorithm. Understand how to navigate the tree from the root, deciding between left or right subtrees based on value comparisons, and identify the correct position to insert new nodes. This lesson helps you grasp the fundamentals of maintaining the BST property during insertion operations.

Binary Search Tree Insertion Algorithm

Here is a description of the algorithm used to insert a new value into a BST:

  1. Start from the root node.

  2. Check if the value to be inserted is greater than the root/current node’s value ...
