8.8 Lab: BT <--- BST (Smallest/Largest)

The assignment consists of the following classes/files:

- BinaryNode.h (template, given)
- BinaryTree.h (template, incomplete)
- BinarySearchTree.h(template, incomplete)
- main.cpp (incomplete)

Write the following functions:

- findSmallest (recursive)
- findLargest (recursive)
