 *
 * <h1>Binary Search Tree (Recursive)</h1>
 *
 * An implementation of BST recursively. In recursive implementation the checks are down the tree
 * First root is checked if not found then its childs are checked Binary Search Tree is a binary
 * tree which satisfies three properties: left child is less than root node, right child is grater
 * than root node, both left and right childs must themselves be a BST.
 *
 * <p>I have made public functions as methods and to actually implement recursive approach I have
 * used private methods
