C++ Program to Implement a Binary Search Tree using Linked Lists

This C++ program, displays the traversal of a binary search tree in inorder,postorder and preorder mode using linked lists. A linked list is an ordered set of data elements, each containing a link to its successor.

Here is the source code of the C++ program which takes the value of root node and consecutively all other nodes as input and generates a binary search tree on the basis of the values of these nodes(all distinct). This C++ program is successfully compiled and run on DevCpp, a C++ compiler. The program output is also shown below.
