  3. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    The most frequently used general-purpose implementation of an associative array is with a hash table: an array combined with a hash function that separates each key into a separate "bucket" of the array. The basic idea behind a hash table is that accessing an element of an array via its index is a simple, constant-time operation.

  4. Search data structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_data_structure

    The simplest kind of query is to locate a record that has a specific field (the key) equal to a specified value v.Other common kinds of query are "find the item with smallest (or largest) key value", "find the item with largest key value not exceeding v", "find all items with key values between specified bounds v min and v max".

  5. Binary search tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search_tree

    Fig. 1: A binary search tree of size 9 and depth 3, with 8 at the root. In computer science, a binary search tree (BST), also called an ordered or sorted binary tree, is a rooted binary tree data structure with the key of each internal node being greater than all the keys in the respective node's left subtree and less than the ones in its right subtree.

  6. Self-balancing binary search tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-balancing_binary...

    Self-balancing binary search trees can be used in a natural way to construct and maintain ordered lists, such as priority queues. They can also be used for associative arrays ; key-value pairs are simply inserted with an ordering based on the key alone.

    Binary search is usually one of the first algorithms taught to computer science students. The premise is quite simple: given a sorted list of numbers, binary search eliminates halves of the list in which the number you are looking for cannot lie until it finds the number. However, binary search has lots of subtleties.

  8. List of data structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_data_structures

    Array, a sequence of elements of the same type stored contiguously in memory; Record (also called a structure or struct), a collection of fields Product type (also called a tuple), a record in which the fields are not named; String, a sequence of characters representing text; Union, a datum which may be one of a set of types

  9. Order statistic tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_statistic_tree

    To turn a regular search tree into an order statistic tree, the nodes of the tree need to store one additional value, which is the size of the subtree rooted at that node (i.e., the number of nodes below it). All operations that modify the tree must adjust this information to preserve the invariant that size[x] = size[left[x]] + size[right[x]] + 1
