  2. Data structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure

    A data structure known as a hash table.. In computer science, a data structure is a data organization and storage format that is usually chosen for efficient access to data. [1] [2] [3] More precisely, a data structure is a collection of data values, the relationships among them, and the functions or operations that can be applied to the data, [4] i.e., it is an algebraic structure about data.

  3. List of terms relating to algorithms and data structures

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terms_relating_to...

    The NIST Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures [1] is a reference work maintained by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. It defines a large number of terms relating to algorithms and data structures. For algorithms and data structures not necessarily mentioned here, see list of algorithms and list of data structures.

  4. List of data structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_data_structures

    This is a list of well-known data structures. For a wider list of terms, see list of terms relating to algorithms and data structures. For a comparison of running times for a subset of this list see comparison of data structures.

  5. Comparison of data structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_data_structures

    Here are time complexities [5] of various heap data structures. The abbreviation am. indicates that the given complexity is amortized, otherwise it is a worst-case complexity. For the meaning of "O(f)" and "Θ(f)" see Big O notation. Names of operations assume a max-heap.

  6. Implicit data structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_data_structure

    An implicit data structure is one with constant O(1) space overhead (above the information-theoretic lower bound).. Historically, Munro & Suwanda (1980) defined an implicit data structure (and algorithms acting on one) as one "in which structural information is implicit in the way data are stored, rather than explicit in pointers."

  7. Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithms_+_Data...

    Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs [1] is a 1976 book written by Niklaus Wirth covering some of the fundamental topics of system engineering, computer programming, particularly that algorithms and data structures are inherently related. For example, if one has a sorted list one will use a search algorithm optimal for sorted lists.

  8. Pairing heap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairing_heap

    A pairing heap is a type of heap data structure with relatively simple implementation and excellent practical amortized performance, introduced by Michael Fredman, Robert Sedgewick, Daniel Sleator, and Robert Tarjan in 1986. [1] Pairing heaps are heap-ordered multiway tree structures, and can be considered simplified Fibonacci heaps.

  9. Rope (data structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_(data_structure)

    In computer programming, a rope, or cord, is a data structure composed of smaller strings that is used to efficiently store and manipulate longer strings or entire texts. For example, a text editing program may use a rope to represent the text being edited, so that operations such as insertion, deletion, and random access can be done efficiently.
