Advantages of AVL Trees

A data structure is a way of organizing data in computer memory. An abstract data type (ADT) specifies a set of data and operations that can be performed on that data, such as associative arrays, sets, stacks, queues, and trees. AVL trees provide efficient search, insertion, and deletion operations that are all O(log N) by keeping the tree balanced through rebalancing. While AVL trees have faster asymptotic performance than some alternatives, the rebalancing operations take time and they are more difficult to program than other balanced tree structures.

What is a data structure?

A data structure is a way of organizing data in the computer memory.


What is ADT?
Abstract data type(ADT) is a specification of a set of data and the set of operations that can be
performed on the data.
Example:
associative array
set
stack
queue
tree
Uses of AD:
1. It helps to efficiently develop well designed program
2. facilitaties the decomposition of the complext tast of developing a software system into a number
of simpler subtasks.
Advantages of AVL trees:
1. Search is O(log N) since AVL trees are always balanced.
2. Insertion and deletions are also O(logn)
3. The height balancing adds no more than a constant factor to
the speed of insertion
disadvantages of AVL trees:
1. Difficult to program & debug; more space for balance factor.
2. Asymptotically faster but rebalancing costs time.
3. Most large searches are done in database systems on disk
and use other structures (e.g. B-trees).
4. May be OK to have O(N) for a single operation if total run
time for many consecutive operations is fast (e.g. Splay trees).
