Your BST Journey Continues

You’re now ready to use BSTs in real projects! Here’s your roadmap:

Immediate Next Steps (This Week)

1. Practice with Code 🛠️

Try implementing BST operations from scratch:

// Build a complete BST class
class BinarySearchTree {
  constructor() {
    this.root = null;
  }
  
  insert(value) { /* your code */ }
  search(value) { /* your code */ }
  delete(value) { /* your code */ }
  traverse(order) { /* your code */ }
}

2. Solve Problems 💡

Practice on platforms like:

• LeetCode (BST problems)
• HackerRank (Tree challenges)
• CodeSignal (Algorithm practice)

3. Build Something 🚀

Create a project using BSTs:

• Phone directory application
• Score leaderboard
• Event scheduler
• Priority queue

Short Term (This Month)

4. Learn Self-Balancing Trees 🌳

Explore advanced BST variants:

• AVL Trees: Automatically balanced
• Red-Black Trees: Used in many standard libraries
• B-Trees: Used in databases

5. Study Related Structures 📚

• Heaps (priority queues)
• Tries (prefix trees)
• Segment Trees (range queries)

Long Term (Next 3 Months)

6. Advanced Applications 🏭

• Database indexing internals
• File system organization
• Network routing algorithms
• Compiler symbol tables

7. Contribute 🎯

• Contribute to open-source tree libraries
• Write blog posts about BSTs
• Help others learn
