Red-Black Trees

A Red-Black Tree is a type of self-balancing binary search tree used in computer science to organize data efficiently. It ensures that the tree remains approximately balanced, which keeps operations like search, insert, and delete fast. Each node in the tree is colored red or black, following specific rules to maintain balance—such as the root being black, red nodes having black children, and uniform black height across paths. This coloring strategy guarantees that no path from the root to a leaf is disproportionately long, ensuring consistent and reliable performance for data retrieval and updates.
