I want to be up front so I will say this homework that I am about to talk about. We are suppose to do a B+ tree. I've got it most of the way there but I am having a problem when I have a node split. Specifically when the node is a non-leaf (excluding the root) and it splits I am losing my far right pointer.
For example if the tree was
|3 5|
|1 2| |4| |5 6|
I lose the pointer to |5 6|. So when I search for those values I cannot find them or when I go to add a value that would follow that path I get a null pointer exception.
Anyway I normally would just paste my code here but, unfortunately, we have developed a problem with cheating in my school and since the program is due soon, I am sure a lot of my classmates are scouring the internet for the code. The last thing I want to happen is some jerk rip off my code.
If anyone wouldn't mind looking at the code I will gladly send it to you to check out. Once again it is in Java and is pretty lengthy.
Thanks in advance.
Here is the code. On a side node When I clear offsets and keys I use int and long MAX_VALUE so when I sort I know those cleared values will go to the end of the node. The Split class is just a dumb idea from earlier I need to fix. It consists of a node, offset, and key. Originally I was thinking that I may need to return an offset and key that wasn't in the split node. I then realized that was dumb and all I would ever need to return was the new node itself.
public void add (int key, long offset) throws IOException
{
if (root != null) //start search of where to add the book
{
SplitBucket split = add(root, key, offset); //recursive call
if (split != null) //root has split
{
long newRootOffset;
//make new root and have it point to old root and the split node
BookNode newRoot = new BookNode();
newRoot.changeCurrentChildren(1);
newRoot.setChildKey(0, split.key);
newRoot.setChildOffset(0, root.getMyOffset());
newRoot.setChildOffset(1, split.offset);
newRoot.setChildOffset(2,
root.getChildOffset(Constants.childSize -1));
newRoot.setNode(0, root);
newRoot.setNode(1, split.node);
newRoot.setNode(2, root.getNode(Constants.childSize - 1));
io.setBookNode(root.getMyOffset(), root);
newRootOffset = io.insertNewNode(newRoot);
io.setRoot(newRootOffset);
root = newRoot;
}
}
else //empty tree so create root and add

long rootOffset = Long.MAX_VALUE;

root.changeCurrentChildren(1);

rootOffset = io.insertNewNode(root);
io.setRoot(rootOffset);
root.setMyOffset(rootOffset);
}
