What is a digital search Tree in Data Structures?

The Digital search tree is known for its application and diversity in how it has impacted our world in data structures. A Digital search tree is a binary tree that helps us access and manage all the data safely. The tree tends to hold only binary data and helps us. There seems to be a catch implying that if the search tree started with a zero (0), then it is present in the left subtree of the search tree, and if the tree started with a one (1), then it is present in the right subtree of the search tree. Both sides of the tree worked exclusively to make the work of the tree efficient. It became one of the most useful discoveries in data structures.

In this article section, we will observe the simple structure or model of the digital search tree that contains only 4 bits. Here is the picture: -

What distinguishes a DST from other trees?

When we talk about a basic binary tree, we realize that to move down the structure of the tree, we probably have to take into consideration the comparison that we do between the current node and the key that is being sorted at that particular time, but this is not the case with the Digital search tree, in these kinds of trees we just have to make usage of the bits of the keys which are being organized or sorted at the moment.
