In this video, we will go over the binary search tree data structure. We will first cover the general idea of what a binary search tree is and how one may go about inserting data into this structure as well as how one searches for data. Once we cover the general idea, we will move over into the terminal and implement the binary search tree data structure in Python. We will construct two class methods that will implement the search and insertion algorithms.

If you are unfamiliar with tree-like data structures, I would encourage you to watch first the series on binary trees. A binary search tree is a type of binary tree. It is important to understand the various terminology used in the context of a tree data structure (root, node, leaves, parent, child, etc.). If any of those terms are unfamiliar to you, or you would like to brush up on them, the binary tree playlist may be found here:
