What is a Red-Black Tree?
Explore the fundamentals of Red-Black Trees, including their key properties, node coloring, and balancing methods. Understand how these trees maintain balance to ensure efficient search, insertion, and deletion operations with near logarithmic time complexity. Compare Red-Black Trees with AVL Trees to determine their best use cases in programming.
We'll cover the following...
Introduction
A Red-Black Tree is another type of self-balancing Binary Search Tree, just like the AVL Trees , but with some additions. The nodes in a Red-Black Tree are colored to either red or black. Colored nodes help in re-balancing the tree after insertion or deletion. There are also some cases used to balance the Red-Black Trees. We will also go through the insertion and deletion operations of the Red-Black Tree.
