搜索二叉树

struct Node
{
   public:
      Node *left_, *right_;
      int value_

      Node(int val) : value_(val), left_(0), right_(0) { }
      //done in this manner to always make sure blank children are
      //init to zero, or null
      Node(int val, Node *left, Node *right) : value_(val), left_(0), right_(0) 
          { left_ = left; right_ = right; } 
}

int BinarySearchTree::search(int val)
{
    Node* next = this->root();

    while (next->left() != 0 || next->right () != 0)
    {
        if (val == next->value())
        {
            return next->value();
        }    
        else if (val < next->value())
        {
            next = next->left();   
        }
        else if (val > next->value())
        {
            next = next->right();
        }
    } 

    //not found
    return 0;
}

while(0->left()) ,导致行为不明确。

我被告知,这两个问题的解决方案都存在于循环条件中,但我看不出我能做些什么来轻松补救这种情况。Stack Overflow社区能提供任何见解吗?
