Red-Black Trees & B-Trees: Structure and Operations
Red-Black Tree Fundamentals
A Red-Black Tree is a self-balancing binary search tree (BST) used in computer science for efficient data storage and retrieval. Each node in a Red-Black Tree has an extra property, its color (either red or black), which helps maintain the tree’s balance properties.
