# C++ Program to Implement B+ Tree

C++Server Side ProgrammingProgramming

The B+ tree is a generalization of a binary search tree in that a node can have more than two children. It is basically a self-balancing tree data structure that maintains sorted data and allows sequential access, searches, insertions, and deletions in logarithmic time.

It can be viewed as a B-tree in which each node contains only keys and to which an additional level is added at the bottom with linked leaves.

## Algorithm

Begin
function insert() to insert the nodes into the tree:
Initialize x as root.
if x is leaf and having space for one more info then insert a to x.
else if x is not leaf, do
Find the child of x that is going to to be traversed next.
If the child is not full, change x to point to the child.
If the child is full, split it and change x to point to one of the two parts of the child. If a is smaller
than mid key in the child, then set x as first part of the child. Else second part of the child.
End

## Example Code

for (i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
np->child_ptr[i] = NULL;
}
return np;
