self-balancing binary search tree

A self-balancing binary search tree is a specialized structure used in computer science to organize data efficiently. It arranges data in a tree-like format, where each item points to smaller items on one side and larger ones on the other. The "self-balancing" aspect means it automatically adjusts itself after insertions or deletions to keep its shape even, ensuring that searching, adding, or removing data stays fast. This balanced structure minimizes worst-case scenarios, leading to consistent, efficient performance even as data grows or changes.
