Explanation of Solution

Difference between Data and Information:

Data Information
Data is a raw material to an end user. Information is product to user.
It is used as input for system. It is used as the output of data.
It is an unprocessed fact which does not based on information. It is processed data which always based on data.
It does not transmit any meaning because it is single unit. It transmits the logical meaning because it is a group of data.

For example:

  • Each student score is considered as the data.
  • Reading the temperature history across the world for past 10 years is considered as data.

For example:

  • The average score of complete school or class is considered as information.
  • Data of temperature history is analyzed to identify the rise of global temperature is considered as information.

Objective  you will: 1. Implement a Binary Search Tree (BST) from scratch, including the Big Five (Rule of Five)  2. Implement the TreeSort algorithm using a in-order traversal to store sorted elements in a vector. 3. Compare the performance of TreeSort with C++'s std::sort on large datasets. Part 1: Understanding TreeSort How TreeSort Works TreeSort is a comparison-based sorting algorithm that leverages a Binary Search Tree (BST): 1. Insert all elements into a BST (logically sorting them). 2. Traverse the BST in-order to extract elements in sorted order. 3. Store the sorted elements in a vector.  Time Complexity Operation                                Average Case     Worst Case (Unbalanced Tree)Insertion                                     0(1log n)                0 (n)Traversal (Pre-order)                  0(n)                       0 (n)Overall Complexity                  0(n log n)                 0(n^2) (degenerated tree) Note: To improve performance, you could use a…
