13 Questions
What is a drawback of the first approach to balancing a tree?
Inefficient space-wise and time-consuming
What does the second approach to balancing a tree require each node to maintain?
A reference to its parent
What is a key advantage of the 'self-balancing' tree algorithm?
Automatically re-balances the tree after each operation if needed
What is a drawback of deconstructing and reconstructing the tree to balance it?
Inefficient space-wise and time-consuming
What is a key advantage of using a 'self-balancing' tree algorithm?
Much less wasteful than deconstructing and reconstructing the tree
What is the first approach to keep a tree balanced?
Deconstruct the tree by aligning the nodes in an array and sort them using one of the efficient algorithms
What is a key advantage of using a 'self-balancing' tree algorithm?
It automatically maintains balance during insertions and deletions
What does AVL stand for in AVL Trees?
Adel’son-Vel’skii and E. M. Landis
What balance values are allowed for nodes in an AVL Tree?
-1, 0, or 1
What technique is used in AVL Trees to maintain balance after an operation?
Rotations
What is the key difference between AVL tree insertions and BST insertions?
AVL trees perform additional rotations to maintain balance after insertion
What is the primary advantage of using an AVL tree over a basic BST?
AVL trees guarantee logarithmic time complexity for all operations
What happens after an insertion operation in an AVL tree?
The tree may require rebalancing to maintain its properties
