Difference between Binary Search Tree and AVL Tree

Last Updated : 06 Jun, 2024

Binary Search Tree:

A binary Search Tree is a node-based binary tree data structure that has the following properties:

The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys lesser than the node’s key.
The right subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys greater than the node’s key.
The left and right subtree each must also be a binary search tree.

Binary Search Tree

AVL Tree:

AVL tree is a self-balancing Binary Search Tree (BST) where the difference between heights of left and right subtrees for any node cannot be more than one.

Difference between Binary Search Tree and AVL Tree

Binary Search Tree	AVL Tree
In Binary Search Tree, every node does not follow the balance factor.	In AVL Tree, every node follows the balance factor i.e. 0, 1, -1.
Every Binary Search tree is not an AVL tree.	Every AVL tree is a Binary Search tree.
Simple to implement.	Complex to implement.
The height or depth of the tree is O(n).	The height or depth of the tree is O(logn)
Searching is not efficient when there are a large number of nodes in the Binary Search tree.	Searching is efficient because searching for the desired node is faster due to the balancing of height.
The Binary Search tree structure consists of 3 fields left subtree, data, and right subtree.	AVL tree structure consists of 4 fields left subtree, data, right subtree, and balancing factor.
It is not a balanced tree.	It is a balanced tree.
In Binary Search tree. Insertion and deletion are easy because no rotations are required.	In an AVL tree, Insertion and deletion are complex as it requires multiple rotations to balance the tree.

AVL Tree Data Structure

An AVL tree defined as a self-balancing Binary Search Tree (BST) where the difference between heights of left and right subtrees for any node cannot be more than one. The absolute difference between the heights of the left subtree and the right subtree for any node is known as the balance factor of

What is AVL Tree | AVL Tree meaning

An AVL is a self-balancing Binary Search Tree (BST) where the difference between the heights of left and right subtrees of any node cannot be more than one. KEY POINTSIt is height balanced treeIt is a binary search treeIt is a binary tree in which the height difference between the left subtree and r

Insertion in an AVL Tree

AVL tree is a self-balancing Binary Search Tree (BST) where the difference between heights of left and right subtrees cannot be more than one for all nodes. Example of AVL Tree: The above tree is AVL because the differences between the heights of left and right subtrees for every node are less than

Insertion, Searching and Deletion in AVL trees containing a parent node pointer

AVL tree is a self-balancing Binary Search Tree (BST) where the difference between heights of left and right subtrees cannot be more than one for all nodes. The insertion and deletion in AVL trees have been discussed in the previous article. In this article, insert, search, and delete operations are

Deletion in an AVL Tree

We have discussed AVL insertion in the previous post. In this post, we will follow a similar approach for deletion. Steps to follow for deletion. To make sure that the given tree remains AVL after every deletion, we must augment the standard BST delete operation to perform some re-balancing. Followi

How is an AVL tree different from a B-tree?

AVL Trees: AVL tree is a self-balancing binary search tree in which each node maintain an extra factor which is called balance factor whose value is either -1, 0 or 1. B-Tree: A B-tree is a self - balancing tree data structure that keeps data sorted and allows searches, insertions, and deletions in

Practice questions on Height balanced/AVL Tree

AVL tree is binary search tree with additional property that difference between height of left sub-tree and right sub-tree of any node canâ€™t be more than 1. Here are some key points about AVL trees: If there are n nodes in AVL tree, minimum height of AVL tree is floor(log 2 n). If there are n nodes

AVL with duplicate keys

Please refer below post before reading about AVL tree handling of duplicates. How to handle duplicates in Binary Search Tree?This is to augment AVL tree node to store count together with regular fields like key, left and right pointers. Insertion of keys 12, 10, 20, 9, 11, 10, 12, 12 in an empty Bin

Count greater nodes in AVL tree

In this article we will see that how to calculate number of elements which are greater than given value in AVL tree. Examples: Input : x = 5 Root of below AVL tree 9 / \ 1 10 / \ \ 0 5 11 / / \ -1 2 6 Output : 4 Explanation: there are 4 values which are greater than 5 in AVL tree which are 6, 9, 10
