  3. To maintain balance for efficient operations
  4. To reduce memory usage

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary purpose of using AVL trees in real-world applications?
  • Step 1: Understand what an AVL tree is. It is a type of binary search tree that keeps its height balanced.
  • Step 2: Learn why balance is important. A balanced tree ensures that the tree does not become too tall, which would slow down operations.
  • Step 3: Know the main operations: searching for a value, inserting a new value, and deleting a value from the tree.
  • Step 4: Realize that if the tree is balanced, these operations can be done quickly, in O(log n) time, where n is the number of nodes in the tree.
  • Step 5: Understand that AVL trees use rotations to maintain balance after insertions and deletions, which helps keep the operations efficient.
