What is the time complexity for inserting the string and forming a new string in the rope data structure?
(a) O (log n)
(b) O (n!)
(c) O (n^2)
(d) O (1)
The above asked question is from Binary Trees topic in section Binary Trees of Data Structures & Algorithms I
The question was asked by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

Right option is (a) O (log n)
For explanation: In order to perform the insertion on the rope data structure, one can insert the given string at any position x to form a new string in O (log n) time. So, the time complexity for worst case is O (log n). This can be done by one split operation and two concatenation operations.
