+We will now list all the possible operations that can be applied on a **BTree**. But first, let us understand the _Cursor_ interface, as it is used for navigating a **BTree** using various types of _browse_ operations.
## 4.1 The Cursor interface
All the _browse_ operations will return a _Cursor_ instance. A _Cursor_ allows navigating forward and backward on a **BTree**. It starts at a specific position, and can be moved to a specific position too. The default position for a _Cursor_ is before the very first element of the **BTree**
