AVL Tree Rotations Tutorial: Fixing Imbalance After Adding a Node

In this video we walk through a complete example of maintaining an AVL tree. Starting with a valid AVL tree, we insert a new node that breaks the balance rules, then recompute balance factors up the tree until we find the imbalance.

Watch as we identify the X, Y, and Z nodes and perform a double right rotation to restore the AVL property while keeping it a valid binary search tree.

Perfect for students learning data structures, computer science fundamentals, or anyone preparing for coding interviews.

Previous videos cover binary search trees, AVL basics, rotations, and balance factors.
