RB Tree is leaning right #15

That's not a bug, I am just curious why it is the case.

int main() {
  RBTree bst;
  for (int i = 0; i < 31; i++) {
      bst.insert(i);
  }
  bst.prettyPrint();

  return 0;
}

produces a tree without any violations but at the other time it isn't really balanced.

                                   R----30(RED)

I stumbled upon playing with my own implementation and just looked around for something else to compare with.
