Summary of Map ADT Implementations¶
Over the past two chapters we have looked at several data structures that can be used to implement the map abstract data type. A binary Search on a list, a hash table, a binary search tree, and a balanced binary search tree. To conclude this section, let’s summarize the performance of each data structure for the key operations defined by the map ADT (see Table 1).
operation | Sorted List | Hash Table | Binary Search Tree | AVL Tree |
---|---|---|---|---|
put | \(O(n)\) | \(O(1)\) | \(O(n)\) | \(O(\log_2{n})\) |
get | \(O(\log_2{n})\) | \(O(1)\) | \(O(n)\) | \(O(\log_2{n})\) |
in | \(O(\log_2{n})\) | \(O(1)\) | \(O(n)\) | \(O(\log_2{n})\) |
del | \(O(n))\) | \(O(1)\) | \(O(n)\) | \(O(\log_2{n})\) |
