  2. Disjoint-set data structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjoint-set_data_structure

    This specialized type of forest performs union and find operations in near-constant amortized time. For a sequence of m addition, union, or find operations on a disjoint-set forest with n nodes, the total time required is O(mα(n)), where α(n) is the extremely slow-growing inverse Ackermann function. Although disjoint-set forests do not ...

  3. Linked data structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_data_structure

    For many structures, some nodes may require worst case up to n−1 steps. In contrast, many array data structures allow access to any element with a constant number of operations, independent of the number of entries. Broadly the implementation of these linked data structure is through dynamic data structures. It gives us the chance to use ...

  4. 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.

  5. Union type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_type

    The union declaration is similar to the structure definition, where elements at the same level within the union declaration occupy the same storage. Elements of the union can be any data type, including structures and array. [6]: pp192–193 Here vers_num and vers_bytes occupy the same storage locations.

  6. Abstract data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_data_type

    Nonetheless, for many purposes, the user can ignore these infidelities and simply use the implementation as if it were the abstract data type. Usually, there are many ways to implement the same ADT, using several different concrete data structures. Thus, for example, an abstract stack can be implemented by a linked list or by an array ...

  7. Linked list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_list

    A good example that highlights the pros and cons of using dynamic arrays vs. linked lists is by implementing a program that resolves the Josephus problem. The Josephus problem is an election method that works by having a group of people stand in a circle. Starting at a predetermined person, one may count around the circle n times.

  8. Non-blocking linked list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-blocking_linked_list

    A non-blocking linked list is an example of non-blocking data structures designed to implement a linked list in shared memory using synchronization primitives: Compare-and-swap; Fetch-and-add; Load-link/store-conditional; Several strategies for implementing non-blocking lists have been suggested.

  9. 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
