D)search, insert and delete operations

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

AVL trees are a type of self-balancing binary search tree, where the height of the two child subtrees of any node differ by no more than one. This ensures that the AVL tree remains balanced, leading to improved time complexity for search, insert, and delete operations compared to a standard binary search tree (BST) that is not balanced. In the worst case, a BST can become a linked list with a time complexity of O(n) for these operations, whereas an AVL tree maintains a time complexity of O(log n) due to its balanced nature.
