The skip list is a linked list augmented with layers of pointers for quickly jumping over large numbers of elements, and then descending to the next layer. This process continues down to the bottom layer, which is the actual list. A binary tree can be seen as a type of linked list where the elements are themselves linked lists of the same ...
A position in the list is indicated by both a reference to the node and a position in the elements array. It is also possible to include a previous pointer for an unrolled doubly linked list. To insert a new element, we find the node the element should be in and insert the element into the elements array, incrementing numElements. If the array ...
Given a node n that is not yet part of the list, and a pointer p to a node in the list (perhaps the head), insert n after p. Given a pointer p, delete p.next from the list. Both operations must support concurrent use: two or more threads of execution must be able to perform insertions and deletions without interfering with each other's work ...
A separate deque with threads to be executed is maintained for each processor. To execute the next thread, the processor gets the first element from the deque (using the "remove first element" deque operation). If the current thread forks, it is put back to the front of the deque ("insert element at front") and a new thread is executed.
Chained-Hash-Insert(T, k) insert x at the head of linked list T[h(k)] Chained-Hash-Search(T, k) search for an element with key k in linked list T[h(k)] Chained-Hash-Delete(T, k) delete x from the linked list T[h(k)] If the element is comparable either numerically or lexically, and inserted into the list by maintaining the total order, it ...
Whenever the sum of the current element in the first array and the current element in the second array is more than T, the algorithm moves to the next element in the first array. If it is less than T, the algorithm moves to the next element in the second array. If two elements that sum to T are found, it stops. (The sub-problem for two elements ...
A stack may be implemented as, for example, a singly linked list with a pointer to the top element. A stack may be implemented to have a bounded capacity. If the stack is full and does not contain enough space to accept another element, the stack is in a state of stack overflow. A stack is needed to implement depth-first search.
This is because linked data structures are not contiguous. Instances of data can be found all over in memory, unlike arrays. In arrays, nth element can be accessed immediately, while in a linked data structure we have to follow multiple pointers so element access time varies according to where in the structure the element is.
