- "Among balanced search trees, AVL and 2/3 trees are now passé, and red-black trees seem to be more popular.
A particularly interesting self-organizing data structure is the splay tree, which uses rotations
to move any accessed key to the root." - Skiena
- Of these, I chose to implement a red-black tree and a splay tree.
- red-black tree: search and insertion functions, skipping delete
- Of these, I chose to implement a splay tree. From what I've read, you won't implement a
balanced search tree in your interview. But I wanted exposure to coding one up
and let's face it, splay trees are the bee's knees. I did read a lot of red-black tree code.
- splay tree: insert, search, delete functions
If you end up implementing red/black tree try just these:
- search and insertion functions, skipping delete
- I want to learn more about B-Tree since it's used so widely with very large data sets.
