🌳 DSA Binary Search Tree (BST) Visualizer – Learn BSTs the Smart Way | GoNimbus

Binary Search Trees are one of the most important data structures in coding interviews, competitive programming, and real-world applications. At GoNimbus, we take your understanding to the next level by turning BST operations into interactive visual animations — so you don’t just study, you experience how BSTs work.

🔍 What is a Binary Search Tree (BST)?

A Binary Search Tree is a special type of binary tree that maintains a sorted structure:

• Left subtree contains nodes smaller than the root
• Right subtree contains nodes greater than the root
• No duplicate values (commonly)

This structure enables extremely efficient searching, insertion, and deletion operations.

✨ Why Learn BSTs?

Binary Search Trees form the foundation for:

• Balanced Trees (AVL, Red-Black Trees)
• Binary Heaps
• Tree-based searching
• Efficient data storage systems
• Range queries & interval trees

Knowing BSTs is essential for cracking tech interviews.

🎥 What You Can Do in the BST Visualizer

Our interactive BST Visualizer lets you perform all major operations:

1️⃣ Insert Nodes

• Watch nodes placed automatically in the correct position
• Highlights the path taken during insertion
• Shows comparisons step-by-step

2️⃣ Search for Elements

• Visual path tracing
• Node-by-node comparisons
• Success or not-found indication

3️⃣ Delete Nodes

Visualize all three BST deletion cases:

• Node with no child
• Node with one child
• Node with two children (using inorder successor)

4️⃣ Traversals (with animations)

See live traversal paths:

• In-order (sorted order)
• Pre-order
• Post-order
• Level-order

5️⃣ Tree Structure Display

• Real-time dynamic tree
• Auto-balanced layout
• Color highlights for each operation

6️⃣ Reset / Step Control

• Single-step simulation
• Play / Pause
• Full reset for new experiments

⌛ Time Complexity Overview

Operation	Time (Avg)	Time (Worst)	Notes
Search	O(log n)	O(n)	Worst case = skewed tree
Insert	O(log n)	O(n)	Based on height
Delete	O(log n)	O(n)	Inorder successor may need traversal
Traversals	O(n)	O(n)	Visit every node

---

🌱 Sample Operations Visualized

✔ Insert(50)

Root becomes 50.

✔ Insert(30)

30 placed in left subtree (since 30 < 50).

✔ Insert(70)

70 placed in right subtree (since 70 > 50).

✔ Search(30)

Visualizer highlights the path: 50 → 30.

✔ Delete(50)

Root is replaced by inorder successor.

You see everything in smooth animations.
