Comparing Different Types of Trees in C++

What are the main differences between binary trees and binary search trees in C++?

Binary trees can have up to two children per node, while binary search trees maintain a specific order: left children are smaller and right children are larger.

Can you explain how AVL trees differ from regular binary search trees?

AVL trees are a type of self-balancing binary search tree. They ensure that the heights of the two child subtrees of any node differ by at most one, which helps maintain efficient operations.

What are the advantages of using a red-black tree over an AVL tree?

Red-black trees are generally faster for insertions and deletions because they are less rigidly balanced than AVL trees, which can lead to fewer rotations.

How do I implement a simple binary tree in C++?

You can start by defining a node structure with pointers to left and right children, then create functions for insertion and traversal.
