What is a Red-Black Tree?
Explore the concept of red-black trees, a type of self-balancing binary search tree that uses node coloring to maintain balance. Understand their properties, how they differ from AVL trees, and why they are useful for optimizing insertion, deletion, and searching operations in coding.

Introduction
Red-black trees are another type of self-balancing binary search tree with some additions; the nodes in red-black trees are colored either red or black. Colored nodes help with rebalancing the tree after insertions or deletions. You will go through the insertion and deletion functions of red-black trees just like you did with AVL trees previously.
Properties of Red-Black trees
-
Every node is either Red or Black in color.
