Summary:
- B-trees are a type of self-balancing tree data structure used for efficient data storage and retrieval. They are commonly used in databases and file systems.
- B-trees maintain a sorted list of keys and pointers to child nodes, allowing for efficient searches, insertions, and deletions of data.
- The structure of a B-tree ensures that the tree remains balanced, which means that the depth of the tree is kept to a minimum, allowing for fast access to the stored data.
