Hello,
I am working on a binary search tree program.
In main, line 21, I am invoking the Binary_tree insert function. I get a compiler error on line 178 of the Binary_tree file.
The error says
"error: cannot convert 'const int*' to 'Binary_node<int>*' in assignment.
They both seem like ints to me. The root and newNode variables are of the same type, so I don't understand the problem.

tree.empty();
// tree.insert(1);
Binary_node<int> *c = new Binary_node<int>(45);
cout << "c data: " << c->data << endl;
tree.insert(1);
// Binary_node<int> *p;
// p = new Binary_node<int>(1);
