Welcome back to the final article in our series on binary search trees in C#. In our previous articles, we explored the fundamentals of binary search trees and the self-balancing AVL trees. We learned that while AVL trees guarantee a balanced tree structure, they require significant computational overhead to maintain balance factors and execute multiple rotations.
In this article, we will delve into another self-balancing binary search tree, the red-black tree. Red-black trees are designed to strike a balance between the efficiency of operations and the maintenance of a balanced tree structure. Unlike AVL trees, red-black trees use a color coding scheme to balance the tree, making it a more efficient alternative in certain scenarios.
