DataStructure_GO

Getting started

Clone this project and put it under your gopath This project employs gomod for package management

File Structure

For every topic the file structure will look like this:

data_structure_name
    reading
        file
    implementation
        file
        test
    leetcode
        lc001
            file
            test
        lc002
            file
            test
        lc212
            file
            test

Naming Convention

under the algorithm path, you will find folders of problemsets grouped by datastructure or other type tags the way to name these problems should be

codeplatformID_problemname_freq[HML]_[easy|med|hard] eg. lc001_twosum_freqH_easy

note the problemname should be one word

Following this naming convention is important to enable us to use some bash scripting to filter through our problems

Purpose of data structure?

• organizing data into a format which enables some coding pattern to store/retrieve data
• helping us write cleaner code

Abstract Data Types

• ADT is "interface" of data structures
• ADT only provides high level contracts but no specific details eg. List Queue Map

Big O

• Big O is an estimation, we should only keep the highest order item. eg.

O(2n) ~> O(n) O(n^2 + 2n) ~> O(n^2)

• Binary-search-like operations would turn an O(n) operation to O(logN). (In cs log is base 2 not 10)
• For comparasion search, the lower limit of O is O(nlogn), to have a better performance you need to use counting sort or radix sort or other sorting method
