How do I implement balanced trees in my project?

To implement balanced trees, you can use data structures like AVL trees or Red-Black trees. Which one are you interested in?

I'm interested in AVL trees. Can you explain how they work?

Sure! AVL trees are self-balancing binary search trees where the difference in heights between left and right subtrees is at most one. This ensures O(log n) time complexity for insertions, deletions, and lookups.

What are the steps to insert a node in an AVL tree?

The steps are: 1) Perform a standard BST insertion. 2) Update the height of the ancestor nodes. 3) Check for balance and perform rotations if necessary.

Can you give me an example of a rotation?

Certainly! A right rotation is performed when a left-heavy subtree is unbalanced. It involves rotating the subtree to the right around the unbalanced node.
