B Tree

Detailed guide and Python implementation for the 'B Tree' problem.

Problem Statement

Medium

Write a function is_valid_btree_leaf_depth(keys, child_pointers, t) that checks if a B-Tree structure node properties are valid. Specifically, return True if all leaf nodes are at the same depth and every node (except root) has between t-1 and 2t-1 keys, where t is the minimum degree. Input format: keys mapping node ID to list of keys, child_pointers mapping node ID to list of child IDs, and minimum degree t.

Constraints
  • 2 <= t <= 10
  • 1 <= len(keys) <= 100

Examples

Example 1
Input
keys = {1: [10, 20], 2: [5], 3: [15], 4: [25, 30]}, child_pointers = {1: [2, 3, 4]}, t = 2
Output
True
Explanation

Root 1 has keys [10, 20]. Children 2, 3, 4 are leaves at the same depth 1 and satisfy the key count constraint of 1 to 3 keys.

Need a Hint?
Consider using Trees-specific data structures like sets or heaps.
Edge Cases to Watch
  • Empty input structures
  • Single element inputs
  • Large numerical bounds
