Binary search trees are used to store comaparable data such that all elemnts on the left subtree are less than a node and all elements on the right subtree are greater than a node. Finding, adding, and removing elements happen in O(log n) compared to a findind an element in an array which is O(n). Binary trees are can become unbalanced and as they become more unbalanced they perform more like an

Unblanaced tree:
