/**
* An unbalanced binary search tree. The values are in ascending order by default,
* using JavaScript's built-in comparison operators to sort the values.
*
* For performance, it's recommended that you use a self-balancing binary search
* tree instead of this one unless you are extending this to create a
* self-balancing tree. See {@link RedBlackTree} for an example of how BinarySearchTree
* can be extended to create a self-balancing binary search tree.
*
* | Method | Average Case | Worst Case |
* | ------------- | ------------ | ---------- |
* | find(value) | O(log n) | O(n) |
* | insert(value) | O(log n) | O(n) |
* | remove(value) | O(log n) | O(n) |
* | min() | O(log n) | O(n) |
* | max() | O(log n) | O(n) |
*
* @example Usage
* ```ts
* import {
* BinarySearchTree,
* ascend,
* descend,
* } from "@std/data-structures";
* import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert";
*
* const values = [3, 10, 13, 4, 6, 7, 1, 14];
* const tree = new BinarySearchTree<number>();
* values.forEach((value) => tree.insert(value));
* assertEquals([...tree], [1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 13, 14]);
* assertEquals(tree.min(), 1);
* assertEquals(tree.max(), 14);
* assertEquals(tree.find(42), null);
* assertEquals(tree.find(7), 7);
* assertEquals(tree.remove(42), false);
* assertEquals(tree.remove(7), true);
* assertEquals([...tree], [1, 3, 4, 6, 10, 13, 14]);
*
* const invertedTree = new BinarySearchTree<number>(descend);
* values.forEach((value) => invertedTree.insert(value));
* assertEquals([...invertedTree], [14, 13, 10, 7, 6, 4, 3, 1]);
* assertEquals(invertedTree.min(), 14);
* assertEquals(invertedTree.max(), 1);
* assertEquals(invertedTree.find(42), null);
* assertEquals(invertedTree.find(7), 7);
* assertEquals(invertedTree.remove(42), false);
* assertEquals(invertedTree.remove(7), true);
* assertEquals([...invertedTree], [14, 13, 10, 6, 4, 3, 1]);
*
* const words = new BinarySearchTree<string>((a, b) =>
* ascend(a.length, b.length) || ascend(a, b)
* );
* ["truck", "car", "helicopter", "tank", "train", "suv", "semi", "van"]
* .forEach((value) => words.insert(value));
* assertEquals([...words], [
* "car",
* "suv",
* "van",
* "semi",
* "tank",
* "train",
* "truck",
* "helicopter",
* ]);
* assertEquals(words.min(), "car");
* assertEquals(words.max(), "helicopter");
* assertEquals(words.find("scooter"), null);
* assertEquals(words.find("tank"), "tank");
* assertEquals(words.remove("scooter"), false);
* assertEquals(words.remove("tank"), true);
* assertEquals([...words], [
