What are the application of binary search trees?
Can you give me an example of when binary search trees are used?
Sure, one common application of binary search trees is in implementing symbol tables. A symbol table is a data structure that is used to store key-value pairs, such as the words in a dictionary and their corresponding definitions. Binary search trees allow for fast search and retrieval of key-value pairs, making them an ideal data structure for implementing symbol tables.
