    Default 2-3-4 Tree (Btree)

    Hello JPF.

    I am currently trying to implement a 2-3-4 tree for my class. Pseudocodes are provided for the methods that I am to write codes for, but I am still unclear as how to set this up. This is what I have so far:

    import java.util.*;
     
     
    public class TwoThreeFourTree
    {
     
       protected static class Node 
       {
     
         protected ArrayList<Integer> data;
         boolean isLeaf;
     
         /** Reference to the first, second, third, and fourth child */
         protected Node first;
         protected Node second;
         protected Node third;
         protected Node fourth;
     
         // Constructors
         /** Construct a node with given data and no children.
             @param data The data to store in this node
          */
         public Node(ArrayList<Integer> data) 
         {
           this.data = data;
           first = null;
           second = null;
           third = null;
           fourth = null;
         }
     
         // Methods
         /** Return a string representation of the node.
             @return A string representation of the data fields
          */
         public String toString() {
           return data.toString();
         }
       }
     
       //=============================2-3-4=================================//
     
       private Node root;
     
       /**
        * Constructs a 2-3-4 tree.
        */
       public TwoThreeFourTree()
       {
          root=null;
       }
     
       public String search(int n)
       {
          search(root, n);
          return null;
     
       }
     
       public String search(Node node, int n)
       {
          int i=1;
          while(i<=node.data.size() && n>node.data.get(i))
          {
             i=i+1;
          }
          if (i<=node.data.size() && n==node.data.get(i))
          {
             String s = new Integer(node.data.get(i)).toString();
             return s;
          }
          else
             if(node.isLeaf==true)
                return null;
             else
             {
                if(i==1)
                   return search(root.first, n);
                else
                   if(i==2)
                      return search (root.second, n);
                   else
                      if(i==3)
                         return search (root.third, n);
                      else
                         if (i==4)
                            return search (root.fourth, n);
             }
     
          return null;
       }
     
       public void insert(int i)
       {
     
       }
     
    }

    Am I going about this in the right direction? If not, please provide some suggestions.
