Red-Black Tree Insertion
Explore the algorithm for inserting nodes in a Red-Black Tree and understand how to maintain its balancing properties through recoloring and rotations. Learn about different cases such as Left-Left, Left-Right, Right-Right, and Right-Left rotations and how they keep the tree balanced after insertion.
Insertion in Red-Black Tree
Here is a high-level description of the algorithm involved in inserting a value in a Red-Black Tree:
-
Insert the given node using the standard BST Insertion technique that we studied earlier and color it Red.
-
If the given node is the root, then change its color to Black.
-
If the given node is not the root, then we will have to perform some operations to make the tree follow the Red-Black property. ...
