Relationship between BST and Nodes could be made clearer #2

Open snlamm opened 8 years ago

snlamm commented 8 years ago

This lab comes on the heals of the linked list lab where we create nodes and then use a linkedlist class to connect and manage them. Since this BST lab speaks about the search tree having nodes, it's easy to think that the BST, similar to the linkedlist, consists of a BST class and Node class. My understanding, however, and the expectations of the tests, are that the BST can be thought of as something akin to one giant entity that has BST instances inside of it. In other words, we only need a BST class but not a Node class. This is very confusing and it would be great if that confusion could be clarified in the README
