What are the differences between AVL and Red-Black trees?

What are the differences between AVL and Red-Black trees?

AVL trees are more rigidly balanced than Red-Black trees, which can lead to faster lookups.

Can you explain how balancing works in both types of trees?

In AVL trees, the balance factor is maintained to be -1, 0, or 1, while Red-Black trees use color properties to ensure balance.

Which tree is better for insertion and deletion operations?

Red-Black trees generally perform better for insertion and deletion due to less strict balancing.

Are there specific use cases where one is preferred over the other?

Yes, AVL trees are preferred for applications requiring frequent lookups, while Red-Black trees are better for frequent insertions and deletions.
