This PR adds an implementation of a Binary Search Tree (BST) in Java under the tree package.

Features:

  • Insertion of nodes
  • Inorder Traversal
  • Preorder Traversal
  • Postorder Traversal

Closes #6334

  • I have read CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • This pull request is all my own work -- I have not plagiarized it.
  • All filenames are in PascalCase.
  • All functions and variable names follow Java naming conventions.
  • All new algorithms have a URL in their comments that points to Wikipedia or other similar explanations.
  • All new code is formatted with clang-format -i --style=file path/to/your/file.java

I have an impression that this is already implemented in BinaryTree.java.

Hi @vil02, thank you for pointing that out!

I checked BinaryTree.java, and it appears to implement a general binary tree without enforcing BST properties during insertion (i.e., no ordering based on key values). This PR provides a specific Binary Search Tree implementation where nodes are inserted based on the BST rule: left < root < right.

If you'd still prefer this be merged under BinaryTree.java or as an enhancement to it, I’m happy to modify the structure accordingly.

@SChandrasekhar96: could you elaborate on that? Looking at the put I think the linked implementation maintains the BST order.
