To tell the truth. this program isn't mine. I got this from book "Robert Lafore. Data structures and algorithms in java". There are all written in detail and comments how to implement a 2-3-4 tree, but I need to implement a 2-3 tree. It is not present in the book. I tried to change the ORDER and remove child3 on line 184 but still have bugs. Help me change the program. Thank you!

Assuming this is homework, check the DaniWeb Member Rules. Nobody will do this for you; but if you show effort we will help.
Assuming, again, that this is hoewomrk, I doubt that it's designed to teach you how to copy stuff from the web. You are only cheating hyourself if you don't do what is intended and write your own program, learning as you go.

ps: Unless your homework is to create a tree of long values, that code isn't what you need anyway - it looks suspiciously like something you would have written before Java 1.5 was released (2004)
