📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughRefactored BST header files to improve API clarity and consistency. The BST class now features a public constructor, insert, search, and traversal methods that delegate to private recursive helpers, replacing underscore-prefixed utility methods. Node constructor simplified to a single inline version. Stock class member variables renamed for consistency and method signatures updated to use standard naming conventions. Changes

Critical: Missing destructor causes memory leak.
The BST owns dynamically allocated Node<T> objects but has no destructor to free them. When a BST object goes out of scope (as shown in main.cpp at lines 32-51), all nodes remain allocated, causing a memory leak.
Additionally, this violates the Rule of Three/Five: if a class manages resources requiring custom destruction, it should also define (or delete) the copy constructor and copy assignment operator to prevent double-free or shallow-copy issues.
🐛 Proposed fix: Add destructor and delete tree helper
private:
Node<T>* root;
+ void deleteTree(Node<T>* node) {
+ if (node != nullptr) {
+ deleteTree(node->left);
+ deleteTree(node->right);
+ delete node;
+ }
+ }
+
Node<T>* insert(Node<T>* node, const T& value) { public:
BST() {
root = nullptr;
}
+
+ ~BST() {
+ deleteTree(root);
+ }
+
+ // Prevent shallow copies (or implement deep copy if needed)
+ BST(const BST&) = delete;
+ BST& operator=(const BST&) = delete;

Memory leak risk: search() returns heap-allocated copy.
The search method allocates a new T object on the heap (line 111) and returns a raw pointer. The caller must manually delete the result, which is undocumented and error-prone. If the caller forgets to delete, memory leaks occur.
Consider returning a pointer to the existing node's data (const if appropriate), or return nullptr when not found:
🔧 Proposed fix: Return pointer to existing data
T* search(const T& key) const {
Node<T>* found = searchNode(root,key);
if(found==nullptr)
return nullptr;
- return new T(found->data);
+ return &(found->data);
}Note: If mutability is a concern, consider returning const T* instead.

Header changes are out of sync with stock.cpp and will break compilation.
Line 19-Line 21 renamed members and Line 25 changed constructor declaration, but data_structures-II/06-BST/stock.cpp still uses old fields/signature (Line 15-Line 27 and Line 31-Line 37). This is a hard compile failure.
