  2. They do not require any balancing.
  3. They can only be balanced by deleting nodes.
  4. They are always balanced after every insertion.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is true about the balancing of AVL trees?
  • Step 1: Understand what an AVL tree is. An AVL tree is a type of binary search tree that keeps itself balanced.
  • Step 2: Learn about the balance factor. The balance factor of a node in an AVL tree is the difference between the heights of its left and right subtrees.
  • Step 3: Know the allowed range for the balance factor. In an AVL tree, the balance factor must be -1, 0, or 1.
  • Step 4: Recognize that when you insert or delete a node, the balance factor can change and may go outside the allowed range.
  • Step 5: Understand that to fix the balance factor, you may need to perform rotations. Rotations are operations that rearrange the nodes to restore balance.
  • Step 6: Remember that there are different types of rotations: single right rotation, single left rotation, double right-left rotation, and double left-right rotation.
