Red-Black Binary Search Tree

What is a Red-Black Tree?

A Red-Black Tree is a self-balancing binary search tree that follows specific rules

Key Properties of Red-Black Trees

• Every node is either red or black.
• The root is always black.
• Red nodes cannot have red children (no two red nodes can be adjacent).
• Every path from a node to its descendant NULL nodes must have the same number of black nodes.

Steps for Insertion

1. Insert the new node as you would in a regular binary search tree.
2. Recolor and rotate nodes as necessary to maintain the Red-Black tree properties.
3. Repeat the balancing steps until all properties are satisfied.
