Java Program to Search an Element in a Binary Search Tree

This is a java program to search an element using Binary Search Tree. A regular tree traversal algorithm is implemented to search an element. We start from root, if value to be searched is less than root we traverse left, else we check if its greater we traverse right, else it is equal and return true.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Search for an Element in a Binary Search Tree. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.
