You insert a node on the left side of another left child. The heights shift fast. Balance factors go beyond one. You spot the left left case right away when the new addition makes the subtree taller on that path. I see this happen often in your test trees when values keep decreasing.
You check the parent node after insertion. Heights differ by two now. Rotations fix it but first you identify the pattern. The left child itself has a left heavy structure. Perhaps the tree grew from repeated smaller inserts. You trace the path from the new leaf up.
And the imbalance shows clearly when both nodes lean the same direction. I remember running similar builds last week. Your balance calculation fails at that point. Then you apply a single rotation to restore order. Maybe add a few more values to watch it repeat.
You notice the right right case mirrors this exactly on the opposite side. Insertions climb higher on the right branches. Heights tilt the other way by two. I watch your code trace those right children first. The pattern emerges after a few growing steps.
Or perhaps you mix directions and hit the left right imbalance instead. The new node lands under the left child but on its right. You see the zig zag form. Balance breaks at the grandparent level. I fix these by double rotating in your examples.
Now the right left case flips that again. You insert under the right child on its left. Heights mismatch suddenly. The tree needs the opposite double turn to settle. Perhaps try inserting numbers like twenty then fifteen then eighteen.
You keep checking every ancestor after each add. I find the cases pop up quickest with sequential drops or rises. Your tree stays short only if you catch them early. Then rotations bring everything level again.
Also unbalanced spots appear when one subtree gains two extra levels. You measure from the problem node down. I compare the left and right heights directly. The difference hits two and you act. Maybe run a quick height walk to confirm.
You build bigger trees and these patterns repeat in clusters. The left left case dominates decreasing sequences. I see right right take over with increasing ones. Mixed inserts create the zig zag versions more.
Perhaps you delete nodes too and imbalances return. Your removal can shrink one side unevenly. Then you trace the same height rules again. I adjust by rotating the affected spots.
You follow the insertion path upward each time. The first node where heights differ by two marks the spot. I label it the pivot for your fix. Then rotations realign the children properly.
Or the cases combine when multiple inserts stack. You might see left left followed by a right right elsewhere. I track them separately in your practice runs. Balance returns step by step with each correction.
You avoid deep trees this way in AVL setups. The rules catch every tilt before it grows worse. I test with random values to find all four patterns. Then the structure holds steady overall.
Perhaps start with a small root and keep adding leftward. Your left left imbalance appears after three steps. I rotate once and levels match. You repeat on the right side for the mirror.
You measure subtree heights at each node always. The imbalance cases stand out when that gap hits two. I walk through your examples to point them out. Then the fix follows the direction rules.
Also try inserting in an order that zigzags. Your left right case shows up clearly. I rotate the middle node first then the top one. Balance comes back without extra height.
You learn these by building and breaking a few trees. The patterns become obvious after some tries. I help spot them faster in your builds now. Then you handle larger sets without worry.
Perhaps the right left shows in mixed rising falling numbers. You catch the pivot where the right child leans left. I apply the double turn to straighten it. Your tree stays balanced after that move.
You cover all imbalance types this way through careful checks. The height rules guide every decision. I see you improve at spotting them quickly. Then the AVL property holds firm throughout.
