  • difference between the height of the left sub tree and right sub tree is balance factor when the factor is 1,0, or -1 the tree is balanced otherwise unbalanced (As far as my memory is concerned) – pinkpanther May 26 '13 at 12:52

If I understood your question correctly.

Difference between the height of the left sub tree and right sub tree is the balance factor of an AVL tree.when the factor is 1,0, or -1 the tree is balanced otherwise unbalanced .

Play with AVL tree applet to get some intuition on this

See this link for Balance Factor
