Binary search tree, an Uncommon card
In computer science, a binary search tree, also called an ordered or sorted binary tree, is a rooted binary tree data structure with the key of each internal node being greater than all the keys in the respective node's left subtree and less than the ones in its right subtree.

Power 128 (ATK + DEF): stronger than 65 % of WikiCards cards.
Binary search tree quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Binary search tree card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
Binary search trees allow binary search for fast lookup, ______, and removal of data items.
Answer
addition. Binary search trees allow binary search for fast lookup, addition, and removal of data items. From the Binary search tree article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Lebesgue integral. Lebesgue integral 74 · Binary search tree 70 · Alder 67 · Leek 64 ATK in WikiCards.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Leek. Leek 220,000 · Alder 160,000 · Binary search tree 92,000 · Bustard 66,000 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The time complexity of operations on the binary search tree is linear with respect to the height of the tree.
- Binary search trees allow 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.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Binary search tree article was read about 92,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 70 and blocks with 58: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
How to get Binary search tree
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
