 * @fileoverview Datastructure: AvlTree.
 *
 *
 * This file provides the implementation of an AVL-Tree datastructure. The tree
 * maintains a set of unique values in a sorted order. The values can be
 * accessed efficiently in their sorted order since the tree enforces an O(logn)
 * maximum height. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avl_tree for more detail.
 *
 * The big-O notation for all operations are below:
 * <pre>
 *   Method                 big-O
 * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * - add                    O(logn)
 * - remove                 O(logn)
 * - clear                  O(1)
 * - contains               O(logn)
 * - indexOf                O(logn)
 * - getCount               O(1)
 * - getMinimum             O(1), or O(logn) when optional root is specified
 * - getMaximum             O(1), or O(logn) when optional root is specified
 * - getHeight              O(1)
 * - getValues              O(n)
 * - inOrderTraverse        O(logn + k), where k is number of traversed nodes
 * - reverseOrderTraverse   O(logn + k), where k is number of traversed nodes
 * </pre>
