Insertion in Red-Black Tree
Last Updated :
08 Aug, 2024
In the previous post, we discussed the introduction to Red-Black Trees. In this post, insertion is discussed. In AVL tree insertion, we used rotation as a tool to do balancing after insertion. In the Red-Black tree, we use two tools to do the balancing.Â
- Recoloring
- Rotation
Recolouring is the change in colour of the node i.e. if it is red then change it to black and vice versa. It must be noted that the colour of the NULL node is always black. Moreover, we always try recolouring first, if recolouring doesn’t work, then we go for rotation. Following is a detailed algorithm. The algorithms have mainly two cases depending upon the colour of the uncle. If the uncle is red, we do recolour. If the uncle is black, we do rotations and/or recolouring.
The representation we will be working with is:Â
Â

This representation is based on X
Logic:
First, you have to insert the node similarly to that in a binary tree and assign a red colour to it. Now, if the node is a root node then change its colour to black, but if it is not then check the colour of the parent node. If its colour is black then don’t change the colour but if it is not i.e. it is red then check the colour of the node’s uncle. If the node’s uncle has a red colour then change the colour of the node’s parent and uncle to black and that of grandfather to red colour and repeat the same process for him (i.e. grandfather).If grandfather is root then don’t change grandfather to red colour.

But, if the node’s uncle has black colour then there are 4 possible cases:
- Left Left Case (LL rotation):

- Left Right Case (LR rotation):

- Right Right Case (RR rotation):

- Right Left Case (RL rotation):

Now, after these rotations, re-color according to rotation case (check algorithm for details).
Algorithm:
Let x be the newly inserted node.
- Perform standard BST insertion and make the colour of newly inserted nodes as RED.
- If x is the root, change the colour of x as BLACK (Black height of complete tree increases by 1).
- Do the following if the color of x’s parent is not BLACK and x is not the root.Â
a) If x’s uncle is RED (Grandparent must have been black from property 4)Â
(i) Change the colour of parent and uncle as BLACK.Â
(ii) Colour of a grandparent as RED.Â
(iii) Change x = x’s grandparent, repeat steps 2 and 3 for new x.Â
b) If x’s uncle is BLACK, then there can be four configurations for x, x’s parent (p) and x’s grandparent (g) (This is similar to AVL Tree)Â
(i) Left Left Case (p is left child of g and x is left child of p)Â
(ii) Left Right Case (p is left child of g and x is the right child of p)Â
(iii) Right Right Case (Mirror of case i)Â
(iv) Right Left Case (Mirror of case ii)
Re-coloring after rotations:
For Left Left Case [3.b (i)] and Right Right case [3.b (iii)], swap colors of grandparent and parent after rotations
For Left Right Case [3.b (ii)]and Right Left Case [3.b (iv)], swap colors of grandparent and inserted node after rotations
Â
Example: Creating a red-black tree with elements 3, 21, 32 and 15 in an empty tree.
Solution:Â

When the first element is inserted it is inserted as a root node and as root node has black colour so it acquires the colour black.
Â

The new element is always inserted with a red colour and as 21 > 3 so it becomes the part of the right subtree of the root node.Â
Â

Now, as we insert 32 we see there is a red father-child pair which violates the Red-Black tree rule so we have to rotate it. Moreover, we see the conditions of RR rotation (considering the null node of the root node as black) so after rotation as the root node can’t be Red so we have to perform recolouring in the tree resulting in the tree shown above.Â
Â

Final Tree Structure:Â

The final tree will look like this
Please refer C Program for Red Black Tree Insertion for complete implementation of the above algorithm.

Introduction to Red-Black Tree
Binary search trees are a fundamental data structure, but their performance can suffer if the tree becomes unbalanced. Red Black Trees are a type of balanced binary search tree that use a set of rules to maintain balance, ensuring logarithmic time complexity for operations like insertion, deletion,

Red-Black Tree definition & meaning in DSA
A red-black tree is a self-balancing binary search tree in which each node of the tree has an color, which can either be red or black. Characteristics of Red Black Tree:The root node is always black and each node can be either black or red.Every leaf node of the red-black tree is black.The children

Applications, Advantages and Disadvantages of Red-Black Tree
Red-Black Tree is one type of self-balancing tree where each node has one extra bit that is often interpreted as colour of the node. This bit (the colour) is used to ensure that the tree remains balanced. Properties of Red-Black Trees: Red-Black Trees have the accompanying properties: Each hub has a

Insertion in Red-Black Tree
In the previous post, we discussed the introduction to Red-Black Trees. In this post, insertion is discussed. In AVL tree insertion, we used rotation as a tool to do balancing after insertion. In the Red-Black tree, we use two tools to do the balancing. RecoloringRotationRecolouring is the change i

Deletion in Red-Black Tree
Deletion in a red-black tree is a bit more complicated than insertion. When a node is to be deleted, it can either have no children, one child or two children. Here are the steps involved in deleting a node in a red-black tree:If the node to be deleted has no children, simply remove it and update th

Red-Black Trees | Top-Down Insertion
In Bottom-Up insertion of Red-Black Trees, "simple" Binary Search Tree insertion is used, followed by correction of the RB-Tree Violations on the way back up to the root. This can be done easily with the help of recursion. While in Top-Down Insertion, the corrections are done while traversing down t

Check if a given Binary Tree is height balanced like a Red-Black Tree
In a Red-Black Tree, the maximum height of a node is at most twice the minimum height (The four Red-Black tree properties make sure this is always followed). Given a Binary Search Tree, we need to check for following property. For every node, length of the longest leaf to node path has not more than
