tree rotations

Tree rotations are a fundamental operation used in binary search trees to maintain their balance. It involves rearranging the nodes in a tree while preserving the binary search tree property. These rotations are performed to improve the overall efficiency and performance of operations like insertion, deletion, and searching in a tree. By performing clockwise or counterclockwise rotations, the structure of a tree can be altered to ensure better balance. This helps in achieving faster access times and preventing the tree from becoming skewed or unbalanced.
