C Program To Perform Insertion, Deletion and Traversal In B-Tree

  • B- tree is a multiway search tree.  A node in B-tree of order n can have at most n-1 values and n children.
  • All values that appear on the left sub-tree are smaller than left most value in the parent node.
  • All values that appear on the right sub-tree are greater than right most value in the parent node.
  • All values that appear on the middle sub-tree are greater than leftmost value in parent node and smaller than right most value in parent node.

Example for B-tree of Order 3:
                                                  70
                                             /          \
                                        17  67        89 
                                     /    |     \     /     \
                               12 15   29   69  75    92 99 

Above is an example for B-Tree of order 3.
  • An intermediate node can have 2 or 3 children.
  • Any node can have at most 1 or 2 values.
  • Nodes on the left sub-tree are smaller than the left most value in parent node.
  • Nodes on the right sub-tree are greater than the right most value in parent node.
  • Nodes on the middle sub-tree are smaller than left most value and greater than right most value in parent node.

Searching in B-Tree:

                                                  70 
                                             /          \
                                        17  67         89 
                                     /    |     \     /     \
                               12 15   29    69  75    92 99 

Search the value 29 in above B-Tree.
29 < 70 - So, search in left sub-tree of 70
29 > 17  && 29 < 67 - So, search in middle sub-tree.
29 is the middle child of 17 & 67.

Insertion in B-Tree:

                                                  70 
                                             /          \
                                        17  67        89 
                                     /    |     \     /     \
                               12 15   29     69 75    92 99

Insert the value 10 to the above B-Tree.
Find the appropriate position to insert the given value in B-Tree.
10 < 70 - Search in left sub-tree of 70.
10 < 17 - Search in left sub-tree of 17.

17 needs to be inserted in the left child of 17.

                                                  70 
                                             /          \
                                        17  67         89 
                                     /    |     \     /     \
                           17 12 15   29    69  75    92 99

Now, the modified node has 3 values 17, 12 and 15.  But, it violates the rule in B-Tree(any node in B-Tree of order can have at most n-1 value).

To restore B-Tree, middle value of 17, 12 and 15 is moved to parent node.  Then, split the resultant node containing 17 and 15 into two nodes forming left and right sub-tree containing the value 17 and 15 correspondingly. 

                                                   70     
                                             /             \
                                    12  17  67           89 
                                  /    /    |     \      /     \
                               17    15   29     69 75    92 99

Now, the parent node violates B-Tree definition.  So, restore it.
                                                  70  17  
                                             /       |         \
                                          12       67        89 
                                        /   \     /   \      /     \
                                     17    15  29    69 75    92 99

Deletion in B-Tree:

                                                  70 
                                             /          \
                                        17  67         89 
                                     /    |     \     /     \
                                12 15   29   69  75    92 99 

Delete 69 from the above B-Tree.  Search the position of 69 to delete.
69 < 70 - Search in left sub-tree of 70
69 > 17 - Compare 69 with right most value in the search node.
60 > 67 - Search in right sub-tree of 67
69 is the right child of 67.

In case the node which we are trying to delete has only one value(69), then find the predecessor(29) for it(69) and merge the predecessor with the sibiling(29) of the node to be deleted.  Then, delete the desired node.
                                                  70 
                                             /           \
                                           17            89 
                                         /     \        /     \
                                  12 15   29 67  75     92 99

  1. MAX 4 means maximum 4 children one node can have ??
    MIN 2 means minimum 2 children one node can have ??

    clear this please !!!

    1. MAX 4 means one node can have 4 pointers and in turn have four children
      and 3 values

      MAX 4 means a node should have minimum 2 pointers which can be null pointers and has a minimum of one value in it

      Delete
    2. Complementing what was said above:
      MAX = maximum number of pointers each node can have.
      MIN = minimum number of pointer each node can have, and according to this B-Tree definition (they vary a LOT), MIN = MAX/2. So, if you're gonna change MAX manually, make you sure you update MIN accordingly.

  3. Macros are dangerous in this situation because a or b will get evaluated twice, which would cause unexpected behavior on expressions whose evaluation has side effects (like a function) Beware.

  4. Thanks a lot for the code, it really helped me.
    I found a completely useless line causing a node to point to itself, which is: x2->link[x2->count] = myNode->link[0];
    I really don't know what the purpose of this line was, but removing it just solves the value deletion completely.

    1. I ran into this bug while using the deletion function, so removing it fixed it completely for me. You can reproduce the bug deleting a node and then calling traverse, because one of the leaf nodes will be pointing to itself as explained.

    2. I think that line should be x2->link[x2->count] = x1->link[0];

  7. The while in doRightShift will never work.

    void doRightShift(struct btreeNode *myNode, int pos) {
    struct btreeNode *x = myNode->link[pos];
    int j = x->count;

    while (j > 0) {
    x->val[j + 1] = x->val[j];
    x->link[j + 1] = x->link[j];
    }
