  2. Priority queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priority_queue

    The semantics of priority queues naturally suggest a sorting method: insert all the elements to be sorted into a priority queue, and sequentially remove them; they will come out in sorted order. This is actually the procedure used by several sorting algorithms , once the layer of abstraction provided by the priority queue is removed.

  3. Linked list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_list

    In a doubly linked list, one can insert or delete a node in a constant number of operations given only that node's address. To do the same in a singly linked list, one must have the address of the pointer to that node, which is either the handle for the whole list (in case of the first node) or the link field in the previous node. Some ...

  4. Skip list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skip_list

    A schematic picture of the skip list data structure. Each box with an arrow represents a pointer and a row is a linked list giving a sparse subsequence; the numbered boxes (in yellow) at the bottom represent the ordered data sequence. Searching proceeds downwards from the sparsest subsequence at the top until consecutive elements bracketing the ...

  6. List (abstract data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_(abstract_data_type)

    A singly-linked list structure, implementing a list with three integer elements. The term list is also used for several concrete data structures that can be used to implement abstract lists, especially linked lists and arrays. In some contexts, such as in Lisp programming, the term list may refer specifically to a linked list rather than an array.

  7. Van Emde Boas tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Emde_Boas_tree

    A van Emde Boas tree (Dutch pronunciation: [vɑn ˈɛmdə ˈboːɑs]), also known as a vEB tree or van Emde Boas priority queue, is a tree data structure which implements an associative array with m-bit integer keys. It was invented by a team led by Dutch computer scientist Peter van Emde Boas in 1975. [1]

  8. Peek (data type operation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peek_(data_type_operation)

    Priority queue (such as a heap) Double-ended queue (deque) Double-ended priority queue (DEPQ) Single-ended types, such as stack, generally only admit a single peek, at the end that is modified. Double-ended types, such as deques, admit two peeks, one at each end. Names for peek vary. "Peek" or "top" are common for stacks, while for queues ...

  9. Queue (abstract data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queue_(abstract_data_type)

    A bounded queue is a queue limited to a fixed number of items. [1] There are several efficient implementations of FIFO queues. An efficient implementation is one that can perform the operations—en-queuing and de-queuing—in O(1) time. Linked list. A doubly linked list has O(1) insertion and deletion at both ends, so it is a natural choice ...
