 * @brief A demo 2-3-4 tree implementation
 * @details
 * 2–3–4 tree is a self-balancing data structure that is an isometry of
 * red–black trees. Though we seldom use them in practice, we study them
 * to understand the theory behind Red-Black tree. Please read following
 * links for more infomation.
 * [2–3–4 tree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2%E2%80%933%E2%80%934_tree)
 * [2-3-4 Trees: A Visual
Introduction](https://www.educative.io/page/5689413791121408/80001)
 * We Only implement some basic and complicated operations in this demo.
 * Other operations should be easy to be added.
