//Search Tree
/*
 Instructions to candidate.
  1) Run this code in the REPL to observe its behaviour. The
   execution entry point is main().
  2) Implement the "put" and "contains" methods.
  3) Fix the "inOrderTraversal" method.
  4) Add additional relevant tests
  5) If time permits, try to improve your implementation.
