If you know in advance that you often access a given item in a binary search tree several times in a row before accessing a different item, you will search for the same item repeatedly. One way to address this problem is to add an extra bookkeeping component to your implementation. That is, you can maintain a last-accessed reference that will always reference the last item that any binary search tree operation accessed. Whenever you perform such an operation, you can check the search key of the item most recently accessed before performing the operation.

Revise the implementation of the ADT binary search tree to add this new feature by adding the data field lastAccessed to the class.
