What This Note Covers¶
This overview maps the Chinese FDS data structures note, covering algorithm analysis, lists, stacks and queues, trees, heaps, union-find, segment trees, graphs, and topological sorting.
Study Outline¶
- Algorithm Analysis: Asymptotic notation, common complexity classes, and the source of time and space costs.
- Abstract Data Types and Lists: Interface design, linear lists, linked lists, cursor implementation, and polynomial examples.
- Stacks and Queues: LIFO/FIFO structures, expression conversion, recursion stacks, and circular queues.
- Trees and Binary Trees: Tree terminology, traversal, expression trees, threaded trees, and recursive structure.
- Search Trees and Heaps: Binary search trees, priority queues, binary heaps, and heap applications.
- Union-Find and Segment Trees: Dynamic equivalence, path compression, interval query, point update, range update, and lazy propagation.
- Graphs: Graph definitions, storage methods, AOV networks, and topological sorting.
Preserved Notation Examples¶
The Chinese source contains mathematical notation and technical symbols. Examples preserved for cross-language lookup:
\(O(N\log N)\)\(O(N)\)\(O(1)\)\(O(\log N)\)\(N\)\(O(N^2)\)\(N/2\)\(T(N)=O(f(N))\)\(T\)\(f\)
