What must be the maximum height difference between left and right children in an AVL tree?
💡 Hint: Think about the conditions that define an AVL tree.
True or False: AVL trees can become very unbalanced after any insertion or deletion if not rebalanced immediately.
💡 Hint: Remember the operations that can disturb the balance.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a series of insertions into an AVL tree, illustrate the tree after each insertion and indicate any necessary rotations. Start with an empty tree and insert the values: 10, 20, 30, 25, 22.
💡 Hint: Keep track of the slopes after each insertion.
You have a balanced AVL tree. Describe the steps you would take to delete a node that causes an imbalance, ensuring to maintain the AVL property afterward.
💡 Hint: Consider the case of a node deletion affecting the height balance throughout the tree.
