# AVL Tree
In computer science, an AVL tree (named after inventors
Adelson-Velsky and Landis) is a self-balancing binary search
tree. It was the first such data structure to be invented.
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.
Lookup, insertion, and deletion all take `O(log n)` time in
both the average and worst cases, where n is the number of
nodes in the tree prior to the operation. Insertions and
deletions may require the tree to be rebalanced by one or
more tree rotations.
Animation showing the insertion of several elements into an AVL
tree. It includes left, right, left-right and right-left rotations.
