Question 3: 5 points
Draw the B+-tree of order 4 that you would get by starting with an empty tree and inserting the following values, in order:
Assume that the maximum number of keys in the B+-tree is 4 and the minimum is 2: the leaf nodes have same size as the
internal nodes (so they also store a maximum of 4 keys, the minimum is 2). The left pointer of a key-value in a parent node
points to entries in the child node which have key values less than this parent node key-value and the right pointer points to
the entries which have key values equal to or greater than this parent node key-value. Of course these values are less than
the next entry, if any, in the same parent node. To allow for some growth, the nodes should be 75% full. Give the figure for
the tree at points indicated by
