In [[computer science]], a '''binary search tree''' ('''BST'''
Binary search trees allow [[Binary search algorithm|binary search]] for fast lookup, addition, and removal of data items. Since the nodes in a BST are laid out so that each comparison skips about half of the remaining tree, the lookup performance is proportional to that of [[binary logarithm]]. BSTs were devised in the 1960s for the problem of efficient storage of labeled data and are attributed to [[Conway Berners-Lee]] and [[David_Wheeler_(computer_scientist)|David Wheeler]].
