Explain the concept of Tree Rotation.

Difficulty: 4/10

Tree Rotation

javascript
  1. 1

    Left and right rotations are the basic operations.

  2. 2

    Rotations take O(1) time.

  3. 3

    They preserve BST inorder ordering.

  4. 4

    AVL Trees use rotations to restore balance.

  5. 5

    Red-Black Trees use rotations together with recoloring.
