Comparison Of Data Structures
From Handwiki This is a comparison of the performance of notable data structures, as measured by the complexity of their logical operations. For a more comprehensive listing of data structures, see List of data structures. The comparisons in this article are organized by abstract data type. As a single concrete data structure may be used to implement many abstract data types, some data structures may appear in multiple comparisons (for example, a hash map can be used to implement an associative array or a set).
Lists
A list or sequence is an abstract data type that represents a finite number of ordered values, where the same value may occur more than once. Lists generally support the following operations:
- peek: access the element at a given index.
- insert: insert a new element at a given index. When the index is zero, this is called prepending; when the index is the last index in the list it is called appending.
- delete: remove the element at a given index.
| Linked list | Array | Dynamic array | Balanced tree | Random access list | Hashed array tree | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indexing | Θ(n) | Θ(1) | Θ(1) | Θ(log n) | Θ(log n)[1] | Θ(1) |
| Insert/delete at beginning | Θ(1) | N/A | Θ(n) | Θ(log n) | Θ(1) | Θ(n) |
| Insert/delete at end | Θ(1) when last element is known; Θ(n) when last element is unknown |
N/A | Θ(1) amortized | Θ(log n) | Θ(log n) updating | Θ(1) amortized |
| Insert/delete in middle | search time + Θ(1)[2][3] | N/A | Θ(n) | Θ(log n) | Θ(log n) updating | Θ(n) |
| Wasted space (average) | Θ(n) | 0 | Θ(n)[4] | Θ(n) | Θ(n) | Θ(√n) |
Maps
Maps store a collection of (key, value) pairs, such that each possible key appears at most once in the collection. They generally support three operations:[5]
- Insert: add a new (key, value) pair to the collection, mapping the key to its new value. Any existing mapping is overwritten. The arguments to this operation are the key and the value.
- Remove: remove a (key, value) pair from the collection, unmapping a given key from its value. The argument to this operation is the key.
- Lookup: find the value (if any) that is bound to a given key. The argument to this operation is the key, and the value is returned from the operation.
Unless otherwise noted, all data structures in this table require O(n) space.
| Data structure | Lookup, removal | Insertion | Ordered | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| average | worst case | average | worst case | ||
| Association list | O(n) | O(n) | O(1) | O(1) | No |
| B-tree[6] | O(log n) | O(log n) | O(log n) | O(log n) | Yes |
| Hash table | O(1) | O(n) | O(1) | O(n) | No |
| Unbalanced binary search tree | O(log n) | O(n) | O(log n) | O(n) | Yes |
Integer keys
Some map data structures offer superior performance in the case of integer keys. In the following table, let m be the number of bits in the keys.
| Data structure | Lookup, removal | Insertion | Space | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| average | worst case | average | worst case | ||
| Fusion tree | O(log m n) | O(n) | |||
| Van Emde Boas tree | O(log log m) | O(log log m) | O(log log m) | O(log log m) | O(m) |
| X-fast trie | O(n log m)[lower-alpha 1] | O(log log m) | O(log log m) | O(n log m) | |
| Y-fast trie | O(log log m)[lower-alpha 1] | O(log log m)[lower-alpha 1] | O(n) | ||
Priority queues
A priority queue is an abstract data-type similar to a regular queue or stack. Each element in a priority queue has an associated priority. In a priority queue, elements with high priority are served before elements with low priority. Priority queues support the following operations:
- insert: add an element to the queue with an associated priority.
- find-max: return the element from the queue that has the highest priority.
- delete-max: remove the element from the queue that has the highest priority.
Priority queues are frequently implemented using heaps.
Heaps
A (max) heap is a tree-based data structure which satisfies the Template:Dfni: for any given node C, if P is a parent node of C, then the key (the value) of P is greater than or equal to the key of C.
In addition to the operations of an abstract priority queue, the following table lists the complexity of two additional logical operations:
- increase-key: updating a key.
- meld: joining two heaps to form a valid new heap containing all the elements of both, destroying the original heaps.
Here are time complexities[7] of various heap data structures. Function names assume a min-heap. For the meaning of "O(f)" and "Θ(f)" see Big O notation.
| Operation | find-min | delete-min | insert | decrease-key | meld |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Binary[7] | Θ(1) | Θ(log n) | O(log n) | O(log n) | Θ(n) |
| Leftist | Θ(1) | Θ(log n) | Θ(log n) | O(log n) | Θ(log n) |
| Binomial[7][8] | Θ(1) | Θ(log n) | Θ(1)[lower-alpha 1] | Θ(log n) | O(log n)[lower-alpha 2] |
| Fibonacci[7][9] | Θ(1) | O(log n)[lower-alpha 1] | Θ(1) | Θ(1)[lower-alpha 1] | Θ(1) |
| Pairing[10] | Θ(1) | O(log n)[lower-alpha 1] | Θ(1) | o(log n)[lower-alpha 1][lower-alpha 3] | Θ(1) |
| Brodal[13][lower-alpha 4] | Θ(1) | O(log n) | Θ(1) | Θ(1) | Θ(1) |
| Rank-pairing[15] | Θ(1) | O(log n)[lower-alpha 1] | Θ(1) | Θ(1)[lower-alpha 1] | Θ(1) |
| Strict Fibonacci[16] | Θ(1) | O(log n) | Θ(1) | Θ(1) | Θ(1) |
| 2-3 heap[17] | O(log n) | O(log n)[lower-alpha 1] | O(log n)[lower-alpha 1] | Θ(1) | ? |

- ↑ Brodal and Okasaki later describe a persistent variant with the same bounds except for decrease-key, which is not supported. Heaps with n elements can be constructed bottom-up in O(n).[14]
