What are some real-world applications of AVL trees today?
That sounds very useful. Can AVL trees also be used for data compression?
While AVL trees are not typically used for data compression, they can be used in conjunction with other techniques to compress and store data more efficiently. For example, AVL trees can be used in Huffman coding, which is a common technique for compressing data by assigning shorter codes to more frequently occurring data values. In this case, the AVL tree is used to store the codes and their associated values, which can then be quickly accessed during data decoding.
