11.2-3 Tree
- A 2-3 Tree has the following properties:
- A node contains one or two keys
- Every internal node has either two children (if it contains
one key) or three children (if it contains two keys).
- All leaves are at the same level in the tree, so the tree is
always height balanced.
- The 2-3 Tree has a search tree property analogous to the BST.
2-3 Tree Example
- The advantage of the 2-3 Tree over the BST is that it can be
updated at low cost.
