The document outlines the implementation of two functions for a binary search tree in C++. The first function, `lowestkey`, identifies the node with the lowest key value starting from a given position, while the second function, `highestkey`, finds the node with the highest key value starting from a specified position. Both functions require a binary search tree setup and involve creating new nodes, inserting them correctly, and implementing logic to traverse the tree to find the respective minimum and maximum values.
