B tree in data structure is another type of tree data structure. It is also called as multiway search tree.
In this tutorial we will see B tree definition, B tree properties and B tree program in c.
B tree Definition
In External searching out aim is to minimize the file access and this can be done by reducing the height of the trees. The height to M-way tree is less because of its large branching factor, but its height can still be reduced. If it is balanced so a new tree structure was developed by Bayer which was a height balanced M-way tree which is named as B tree.
B tree properties
- All leaf nodes are at same level.
- And All non leaf (except root) should have at least [M/2] Child.
- All node should have at least [M/2-1] keys.
- If the root node is non leaf then it have at least 2 child and at least one key.
- A non leaf with N-1 key value should have non Null child.
Insertion in B Tree
Insert the nodes in tree by considering the rules of B tree .

B tree Deletion

Searching in B tree
Search 25 in below tree
first it compare with 30 , 25 < 30 , search in left sub tree.
Now 25 > 12 && 25 > 20 , search in right sub tree
compared 25 with 25, 27 and 28
25 = 25 , found in tree.
