Question: Write pseudo code for each of the following B-tree functions. Analyze their run-time efficiency in terms of the # of page reads performed and express

Write pseudo code for each of the following B-tree functions. Analyze their run-time efficiency in terms of the # of page reads performed and express it in asymptotic O(f(n)) notation where n is the # of keys in the tree whose root is pointed to by x. Describe your analysis.

  1. Min(x) // Returns the minimum key value in the B-tree whose root is pointed to by x.
  2. Max(x) // Returns the maximum key value in the B-tree whose root is pointed to by x.
  3. height(x) // Returns the height of the B-tree whose root is pointed to by x.
  4. countNodes(x) // Returns the total # of nodes in the B-tree whose root is pointed to by x.
  5. countKeys(x) // Returns the total # of keys in the B-tree whose root is pointed to by x.
