📝 Description (summary of the changes)

  • Three main splay operations (Zig, Zig-Zig, Zig-Zag) with detailed implementations
  • Core tree operations including search, insert, and delete with full code examples
  • Four hands-on activities ranging from 20-60 minutes each:
    • Trace through splaying operations
    • Implement basic tree rotations
    • Performance comparison with regular BST
    • Build a word frequency counter
  • Decision framework for when to use Splay Trees vs other data structures
  • Progressive complexity from basic concepts to advanced implementations
  • Real-world analogies (music streaming, smart librarian)
  • Step-by-step walkthroughs with visual tree representations
  • Practical applications that connect to industry use cases
  • Activities designed to reinforce theoretical concepts through coding practice

🎁 Acceptance Criteria

  • All splay operations (Zig, Zig-Zig, Zig-Zag) are correctly implemented
  • Tree rotation functions handle parent pointer updates correctly
  • Content is structured with proper heading hierarchy
  • Code examples include explanatory comments
  • Complex concepts are broken down into digestible sections
  • Visual learners can follow tree transformation diagrams
  • Multiple learning styles are accommodated through varied activity types
