Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a Red-Black tree, what is the maximum height of the tree in terms of the number of nodes n?
  • Step 1: Understand that a Red-Black tree is a type of binary search tree that maintains balance through specific properties.
  • Step 2: Know that the height of a tree is the number of edges on the longest path from the root to a leaf.
  • Step 3: Recognize that in a Red-Black tree, the properties ensure that the tree does not become too unbalanced.
  • Step 4: Learn that the maximum height of a Red-Black tree is related to the number of nodes (n) in the tree.
  • Step 5: The formula for the maximum height of a Red-Black tree is 2 * log(n), where log is the logarithm base 2.
  • Step 6: This means that as the number of nodes increases, the height of the tree grows at a slower rate, keeping it balanced.
