When should I use AVL trees?

When should I use AVL trees over other data structures?

AVL trees are useful when you need a balanced binary search tree that maintains O(log n) time complexity for insertions, deletions, and lookups.

What are the advantages of using AVL trees?

The main advantages include faster lookups compared to unbalanced trees and guaranteed balance, which ensures efficient operations.

Are there any downsides to using AVL trees?

Yes, AVL trees can require more rotations during insertions and deletions, which can make these operations slower compared to other trees like Red-Black trees.

In what scenarios would you recommend using AVL trees?

I recommend using AVL trees in applications where frequent lookups are required, and the dataset is relatively static, minimizing the need for frequent insertions and deletions.
