why don't we allow a minimum degree of t=1? in B-tree..

Answer / chanu

Minimum degree =t => Minimum t-1 keys , Maximum 2t-1 keys
=> Minimum t child , Maximum 2t child
so,
Minimum degree =1 => Minimum 0 keys , Maximum 1 key
=> Minimum 1 child , Maximum 2 child

Minimum case doesn't exist i.e., no node exists with o keys and no node with only 1 child exists because a node with 1 key has 2 child .......
