+# *********notes from the video*********
+# if you have a very unbalanced tree, the time complexity is going to be O(n)
+# if you have a balanced tree, the time complexity is going to be O(log n). much better.
+# red-black tree is a balanced tree. 
+# a traversal is when you visit every node in a tree.
+# depth first traversals are: pre-order, in-order, post-order
+# pre-order: visit the root, then the left subtree, then the right subtree. if you need to save a tree data structure to disk, of sent it across the network and maintain the structure, pre-order traversals can be useful.
+# in-order: visit the left subtree, then the root, then the right subtree. if you need to sort a list, in-order traversals are useful.
+# post-order: visit the left subtree, then the right subtree, then the root. if you need to delete a node from a tree, post-order traversals are useful.
+# binary search tree is an ordered data structure in which the every node in the left subtree is "less" than or equal to the current nocde and every node in the right subtree is greater than the current node.
+# a balanced binary search tree provides O(log n) time complexity for adding, removing and finding values in the tree.
+# an unbalanced tree more resenbles a linked list in time complexity for find and arbitraty insertions and deletions O(n)
+# a traversal is an algorithm which visits every node in a tree.
+# examples include: breadth first search, inorder, postorder, preorder.
