+"""
+Binary search trees are a data structure that enforce an ordering over 
+the data they store. That ordering in turn makes it a lot more efficient 
+at searching for a particular piece of data in the tree. 
+
+This part of the project comprises two days:
+1. Implement the methods `insert`, `contains`, `get_max`, and `for_each`
+   on the BSTNode class.
+2. Implement the `in_order_print`, `bft_print`, and `dft_print` methods
+   on the BSTNode class.
