  4. AVL trees require more memory than Red-Black trees

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements is true about AVL and Red-Black Trees?
  • Step 1: Understand what AVL trees are. They are a type of self-balancing binary search tree where the difference in heights between the left and right subtrees is at most 1.
  • Step 2: Understand what Red-Black trees are. They are another type of self-balancing binary search tree that uses an extra bit for color (red or black) to ensure balance.
  • Step 3: Compare the balancing of both trees. AVL trees are more strictly balanced than Red-Black trees, which means they keep their height smaller.
  • Step 4: Recognize that because AVL trees are more balanced, they can perform search operations faster than Red-Black trees.
  • Step 5: Note that Red-Black trees use an extra color attribute for balancing, which can lead to slightly higher memory usage compared to AVL trees.
