Q2. Explain time complexity of binary tree
Ans. 
Time complexity of binary tree refers to the amount of time it takes to perform operations on the tree based on its size.
• Time complexity for searching, inserting, and deleting in a binary tree is O(log n) on average.

• In worst case scenarios, time complexity can be O(n) for operations like searching if the tree is unbalanced.

• Balanced binary trees like AVL trees or Red-Black trees ensure O(log n) time complexity for all o
