What are the differences between red-black trees and AVL trees?

What are the differences between red-black trees and AVL trees?

Red-black trees are more balanced than AVL trees, allowing for faster insertion and deletion operations.

Can you explain how the balancing works in red-black trees?

Sure! Red-black trees maintain balance through color properties and rotations during insertions and deletions.

Which tree structure is better for search operations?

AVL trees are generally better for search operations due to their stricter balancing, leading to faster lookups.

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

Yes, red-black trees are often used in applications where frequent insertions and deletions occur, while AVL trees are preferred for read-heavy applications.
