Which operation is used to maintain the balance of an AVL tree after insertion?
Step 1: Understand what an AVL tree is. It is a type of binary search tree that keeps itself balanced.
Step 2: Know that after inserting a new node, the tree might become unbalanced.
Step 3: Check the balance factor of the tree. The balance factor is the difference in height between the left and right subtrees.
Step 4: If the balance factor is not between -1 and 1, the tree is unbalanced.
Step 5: Identify the type of imbalance (Left-Left, Left-Right, Right-Right, Right-Left).
Step 6: Perform the appropriate rotation to restore balance. There are four types of rotations: single right rotation, single left rotation, double right-left rotation, and double left-right rotation.
Step 7: After performing the rotation, the tree should be balanced again.
