Prerequeisites: Sets, Binary Search Tree

Source on Github

A tree set is a set which stores the values in a binary search tree. To store elements in a tree set, they must be able to be sorted by a property. To insert an element, it is added to the binary tree. To delete an element, it is removed from the binary tree. To check for membership, we do a binary search for the element in the binary tree.

The advantage of tree sets is that they are maintained in a sorted order.

Tree Sets are implemented using binary search trees.
