Left rotation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Left rotation refers to the following

  • In a binary search tree, pushing a node N down and to the left to balance the tree. N's right child replaces N, and the right child's left child becomes N's right child.
  • In an array, moving all items to the next lower location. The first item is moved to the last location, which is now vacant.
  • In a list, removing the head and inserting it at the tail.
