After Inserting 59


AVL Tree Example

<<

Next: After Inserting 37 >>


Here we have inserted 59. There is no ±1 node on the path to 59, so there is no rotation. We do need to follow the path from the root to the insertion, updating the 0's to ±1's. (Note that, if there had been an A node, we would do this for only the portion of the search path below A.) As usual, the 0 becomes +1 if we go left from it, or -1 if we go right to get to the insertion position.
