Threaded Binary Trees

/**
 * @file
 * \brief This file is a simple implementation of a Threaded Binary Tree
 *
 * Threaded Binary Tree is a binary tree variant in which all left child
 * pointers that are NULL (in Linked list representation) point to its
 * in-order predecessor, and all right child pointers that are NULL
 * (in Linked list representation) point to its in-order successor.
 * It has the following functionalities:
 * - Insertion
 * - Search
 * - Deletion
 * - Listing of node keys inorder,preorder,postorder
 *
 * -see binary_search_tree.c
