Overview

Rotations are a set of primitives common to all binary search tree implementations, which preserve the Binary Search Tree Property while locally rebalancing subtrees at a node in O(1) time. There are left rotations and right rotations. When invoking a rotation, is on a parent-child pair of a search tree. If it is the right child of the parent, use a left rotation. If it is the left child, use a right rotation.

Rotations preserve the Binary Search Tree Property
