Self Balancing Tree


Problem Statement :


An AVL tree (Georgy Adelson-Velsky and Landis' tree, named after the inventors) is a self-balancing binary search tree. In an AVL tree, the heights of the two child subtrees of any node differ by at most one; if at any time they differ by more than one, rebalancing is done to restore this property.

We define balance factor for each node as :

balanceFactor = height(left subtree) - height(right subtree)
The balance factor of any node of an AVL tree is in the integer range [-1,+1]. If after any modification in the tree, the balance factor becomes less than −1 or greater than +1, the subtree rooted at this node is unbalanced, and a rotation is needed.


(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVL_tree)

You are given a pointer to the root of an AVL tree. You need to insert a value into this tree and perform the necessary rotations to ensure that it remains balanced.

Input Format

You are given a function,

node *insert(node * root,int new_val)
{


}
'node' is defined as :

struct node
{
int val;            //value
struct node* left;  //left child
struct node* right; //right child
int ht;             //height of the node
} node;
You only need to complete the function.

Note: All the values in the tree will be distinct. Height of a Null node is -1 and the height of the leaf node is 0.


Output Format

Insert the new value into the tree and return a pointer to the root of the tree. Ensure that the tree remains balanced.

Sample Input

    3
  /  \
 2    4
       \
        5
The value to be inserted is 6.

In C++ :




/* Node is defined as :
typedef struct node
{
    int val;
    struct node* left;
    struct node* right;
    int ht;
} node; */


node * insert(node * T,int x)
{
    if (T == NULL)
    {
        T = (node*)malloc(sizeof(node));
        T->val = x;
        T->left = NULL;
        T->right = NULL;
    }
    else if (x > T->val)
    {
        T->right = insert_hidden(T->right, x);
        if (BF_hidden(T) == -2)
        {
            if (x > T->right->val)
            {
                T = RR_hidden(T);
            }
            else
            {
                T = RL_hidden(T);
            }
        }
    }
    else if (x < T->val)
    {
        T->left = insert_hidden(T->left, x);
        if (BF_hidden(T) == 2){
            if (x < T->left->val)
            {
                T = LL_hidden(T);
            }
            else
            {
                T = LR_hidden(T);
            }
        }
    }
    T->ht = ht_hidden(T);
