Binary Search Tree

This is an implementation of a binary search tree in node.js. This implementation ignores duplicate values. Integer values are supported by default but there is support for implementing a custom comparison function. See objectComparator for one possible example of how this can be achieved.

Getting Started:

$ npm install
$ npm test # if you'd like to run the tests 

Usage:

const { BinarySearchTree } = require('./index')

const bst = new BinarySearchTree([26, 82, 16, 92, 33])
const { deepest, depth } = bst.getDeepestNodesAndDepth()
console.log(`deepest: ${deepest}; depth ${depth}`)

Reference:

Constructor accepts two optional arguments:

1. An array of initialization values
2. A comparator function for custom comparisons. By default, this will be integerComparator

insert(val) - insert an individual value

search(val) - returns true or false depending on whether the given val was found in the tree

delete(val) - delete a value from the tree

traverse(val) - traverses the tree and outputs the values in order

getDeepestNodesAndDepth() - returns an object with keys deepest and depth representing the values found at the deepest level of the tree along with the depth of the tree
