balancing binary trees

Balancing binary trees refers to the process of maintaining a balance in a binary tree data structure. A binary tree is a type of tree data structure in which each node can have at most two children. Balancing in binary trees ensures that the left and right subtrees of any node have approximately the same height, which promotes efficient search, insertion, and deletion operations. Balancing is typically achieved through rotation operations that restructure the tree while maintaining the relative order of the elements. Balanced binary trees, such as AVL trees and Red-Black trees, provide a guarantee of efficient lookup times, ensuring that the height of the tree remains logarithmic in the number of elements stored. This balance helps maintain optimal performance for various operations that involve binary trees, making them useful in many applications.
