A Binary search tree searching algorithm searches by comparing the value of the node that is being searched with the root node and if the value is greater it goes to the right subtree and if it is less then it goes to the left subtree and it keeps going until it either finds the value or doesnt find it and return null
Example: Let us say we are searching for the number 4 in this Binary Search Tree, we would first compare 4 with 8 and 4 is less than eight so we would go to the left subtree and compare 4 with 3, and 4 is greater than 3 so we would go to the right subtree and compare 4 with 6, and 4 is less than 6 so we would go to the left subtree and compare 4 with 4 ,where 4 is equal to 4 so we would return that node
