What is a Red-Black Tree?
Explore the properties and structure of Red-Black Trees, a type of self-balancing binary search tree with nodes colored red or black. Understand how these colors help maintain tree balance during insertions and deletions, and compare them with AVL Trees in terms of balancing and operation efficiency.

Introduction
Red-Black Trees are another type of self-balancing Binary Search Tree, but with some additions: the nodes in Red-Black Trees are colored either red or black. Colored nodes help with re-balancing the tree after insertions or deletions. We will go through the insertion and deletion functions of Red-Black trees just like we did with AVL Trees previously.

Every node is either Red or Black in color
