I was confused. The wiki article says at the top "Not to be confused with Binary tree." Then in the first paragraph:
"The B-tree is a generalization of a binary search tree in that a node can have more than two children (Comer 1979, p. 123). Unlike self-balancing binary search trees, the B-tree is optimized for systems that read and write large blocks of data."
Long ago in one of my CS classes, I wrote binary tree, 2-3, 2-3-4, red black, and AVL tree algorithms. So I guess I learned about binary vs self-balancing. I did not know about b-trees. I made the mistake of thinking that b-tree meant binary tree.
