How do I balance a binary tree?

Balancing a binary tree involves ensuring that the height of the left and right subtrees of any node differ by no more than one. Would you like to know about specific algorithms?

Yes, what are some common algorithms for balancing trees?

Some common algorithms include AVL trees, Red-Black trees, and Splay trees. Each has its own balancing method. Do you want details on a specific one?

Can you explain how AVL trees work?

Sure! AVL trees maintain balance by performing rotations during insertions and deletions to ensure the height difference between subtrees is at most one.

What are the advantages of using AVL trees over other types?

AVL trees provide faster lookups compared to other balanced trees due to their strict balancing, but they can be slower for insertions and deletions.
