What are the differences between balanced and unbalanced binary trees?

What are the differences between balanced and unbalanced binary trees?

Balanced binary trees maintain a uniform height, ensuring efficient operations, while unbalanced trees can become skewed.

Can you give me examples of balanced binary trees?

Sure! Examples include AVL trees and Red-Black trees, both of which automatically balance themselves.

What are the advantages of using balanced trees?

Balanced trees provide faster search, insert, and delete operations, typically O(log n) time complexity.

Are there situations where unbalanced trees are preferable?

Yes, unbalanced trees can be simpler and faster for certain applications where data is mostly static or sorted.

How do I implement a balanced binary tree in code?

You can implement a balanced binary tree using various programming languages; would you like an example in Python?
