In Depth

An AVL tree is a self-balancing binary search tree data structure, whose nodes contain a unique key, an associated value, and point to two distinguished left and right sub-trees. In the tree, the heights of the two child sub-trees of any node differ by at most one. If during a mutating operation, e.g insertion, deletion, a temporary height difference of more than one arises between two child sub-trees, the balance property of the parent sub-tree, thus of the entire tree itself, is restored through the internal usage of tree rotations. These repair tools move the tree nodes only vertically, so that the horizontal/in-order sequence of their keys is fully preserved. Lookup, insertion, and deletion all take O(log n) time in both the average and worst cases, where n is the number of nodes in the tree prior to the operation. Insertions and deletions may require the tree to be rebalanced by one or more tree rotations.

Usage

Avlbinstree exposes a chainable API, that can be utilized through a simple and minimal syntax, allowing you to combine methods effectively.

Usage examples can be also found at the test directory.
