Question 1

Question
What are b-tree's optimized for in comparison to binary search trees?
Answer
  • Binary search tree's have a very long height and they aren't made for massive blocks of data whereas b-tree's are optimized for systems reading and writing large blocks of data and is best utilized when it is written to external memory sources or disk.
