Addressing #13760
Summary:
Added a Splay Tree implementation in Python under
data_structures/binary_tree/splay_tree.py.Features:
__main__demonstrating basic behavior]Rationale:
The repository contains several balanced BSTs (AVL, Red-Black). Splay trees are a useful self-adjusting BST with amortized O(log n) complexity and are valuable for teaching and practical use-cases with access locality.
Tests:
Manual test via
python data_structures/binary_tree/splay_tree.pydemonstrates expected traversal and operations.If the maintainers want doctests or additional unit tests, I can add them in a following commit.
