Red Black Tree vs AVL tree

Red Black Tree vs AVL tree is a DSA topic. In plain words you use it for folder on disk in a file explorer. Don’t start with a slogan — start with that picture.

Smallest example: left < root < right. Type it, run it, and say what you see. If you can do that from memory, you know Red Black Tree vs AVL tree.

From the example next to this theory — Red Black Tree vs AVL tree: dry-run [4, 1, 3].

Trap — unbalanced BST becoming a list. Fix that before you talk about advanced DSA.

Viva — what is Red Black Tree vs AVL tree? Then show left < root < right. Then name the trap.

Exam tip

What is Red Black Tree vs AVL tree? Show this: left < root < right. Trap: unbalanced BST becoming a list.

Example

# Red Black Tree vs AVL tree
data = [4, 1, 3]
print("start", data)
if data[0] > data[1]:
    data[0], data[1] = data[1], data[0]
print("after one step", data)

Red Black Tree vs AVL tree: dry-run [4, 1, 3]. Say the list after one step.
