Insertion on a B+ Tree

In this tutorial, you will learn about insertion operation on a B+ tree. Also, you will find working examples of inserting elements on a B+ tree in C, C++, Java and Python.

Inserting an element into a B+ tree consists of three main events: searching the appropriate leaf, inserting the element and balancing/splitting the tree.

Let us understand these events below.


Insertion Operation

Before inserting an element into a B+ tree, these properties must be kept in mind.

  • The root has at least two children.
  • Each node except root can have a maximum of m children and at least m/2 children.
  • Each node can contain a maximum of m - 1 keys and a minimum of ⌈m/2⌉ - 1 keys.

The following steps are followed for inserting an element.

  1. Since every element is inserted into the leaf node, go to the appropriate leaf node.
  2. Insert the key into the leaf node.

Case I

  1. If the leaf is not full, insert the key into the leaf node in increasing order.

Case II

  1. If the leaf is full, insert the key into the leaf node in increasing order and balance the tree in the following way.
  2. Break the node at m/2th position.
  3. Add m/2th key to the parent node as well.
  4. If the parent node is already full, follow steps 2 to 3.

Insertion Example

Let us understand the insertion operation with the illustrations below.

The elements to be inserted are 5,15, 25, 35, 45.

  1. Insert 5.
    Insert 5
    Insert 5
  2. Insert 15.
    Insert 15
    Insert 15
  3. Insert 25.
    Insert 25
    Insert 25
  4. Insert 35.
    Insert 35
    Insert 35
  5. Insert 45.
    Insert 45
    Insert 45
