What class in the C# (.NET or Mono) base class libraries directly implements B-trees or can be quickly overridden/inherited to implement B-trees? I see the Hashtable class but can't seem to find any classes for anything from the Tree
family...
There must be a base Tree class that can be overridden to generate specific Tree implementations (like B-tree or Red-Black or Binary Tree etc by specifying the tree invariant conditions). Doesn't make sense to have programmers reinvent the wheel for basic data structures (Tree's are pretty basic in CompSci), especially in an object oriented language; so I'm pretty sure I'm just not searching right...
Edit:
Also, you will find working examples of search operation on a B-tree in C, C++, Java and Python. B-tree is a special type of self-balancing search tree in which each node can contain more than one key and can have more than two children. It is a generalized form of the binary search tree.
Example of B-TreeThis supports basic operations like searching, insertion, deletion. In each node, the item will be sorted. The element at position i has child before and after it. So children sored before will hold smaller values, and children present at right will hold bigger values.
In computer science, a B-tree is a self-balancing tree data structure that maintains sorted data and allows searches, sequential access, insertions, and deletions in logarithmic time. The B-tree generalizes the binary search tree, allowing for nodes with more than two children.
A B+ tree is similar to a B-tree, the only difference is that their leaves are linked at the bottom. Unlike B-tree, the nodes of the B+ tree do not store keys along with the pointers to the disk block. The internal nodes contain only keys and the leaf nodes contain the keys along with the data pointers.
There is no (public) implementation of a B-Tree in .NET.
There is no generic Tree class exposed that provides a partial implementation of a tree based structure.
You would need to write something like this from scratch, or use a 3rd party implementation rather than a .NET implementation.
