Implementation of various data structures and algorithms in Go.
All data structures implement the container interface with the following methods:
type Container interface {
Empty() bool
Size() int
Clear()
Values() []interface{}
String() string
}Containers are either ordered or unordered. All ordered containers provide stateful iterators and some of them allow enumerable functions.

}A set is a data structure that can store elements and has no repeated values. It is a computer implementation of the mathematical concept of a finite set. Unlike most other collection types, rather than retrieving a specific element from a set, one typically tests an element for membership in a set. This structure is often used to ensure that no duplicates are present in a container.
Set additionally allow set operations such as intersection, union, difference, etc.
Implements Container interface.
type Set interface {
Add(elements ...interface{})
Remove(elements ...interface{})
Contains(elements ...interface{}) bool
// Intersection(another *Set) *Set
// Union(another *Set) *Set
// Difference(another *Set) *Set

// Empty() bool
// Size() int
// Clear()
// Values() []interface{}
// String() string

}A BidiMap is an extension to the Map. A bidirectional map (BidiMap), also called a hash bag, is an associative data structure in which the key-value pairs form a one-to-one relation. This relation works in both directions by allow the value to also act as a key to key, e.g. a pair (a,b) thus provides a coupling between 'a' and 'b' so that 'b' can be found when 'a' is used as a key and 'a' can be found when 'b' is used as a key.
type BidiMap interface {
GetKey(value interface{}) (key interface{}, found bool)

}A map based on red-black tree. This map guarantees that the map will be in both ascending key and value order. Other than key and value ordering, the goal with this structure is to avoid duplication of elements (unlike in HashBidiMap), which can be significant if contained elements are large.

}A tree is a widely used data data structure that simulates a hierarchical tree structure, with a root value and subtrees of children, represented as a set of linked nodes; thus no cyclic links.

// Size() int
// Clear()
// Values() []interface{}
// String() string
}A red–black tree is a binary search tree with an extra bit of data per node, its color, which can be either red or black. The extra bit of storage ensures an approximately balanced tree by constraining how nodes are colored from any path from the root to the leaf. Thus, it is a data structure which is a type of self-balancing binary search tree.
The balancing of the tree is not perfect but it is good enough to allow it to guarantee searching in O(log n) time, where n is the total number of elements in the tree. The insertion and deletion operations, along with the tree rearrangement and recoloring, are also performed in O(log n) time. Wikipedia

}Extending the red-black tree's functionality has been demonstrated in the following example.
AVL tree is a self-balancing binary search tree. In an AVL tree, the heights of the two child subtrees of any node differ by at most one; if at any time they differ by more than one, rebalancing is done to restore this property. Lookup, insertion, and deletion all take O(log n) time in both the average and worst cases, where n is the number of nodes in the tree prior to the operation. Insertions and deletions may require the tree to be rebalanced by one or more tree rotations.
AVL trees are often compared with red–black trees because both support the same set of operations and take O(log n) time for the basic operations. For lookup-intensive applications, AVL trees are faster than red–black trees because they are more strictly balanced. Wikipedia

}B-tree is a self-balancing tree data structure that keeps data sorted and allows searches, sequential access, insertions, and deletions in logarithmic time. The B-tree is a generalization of a binary search tree in that a node can have more than two children.
According to Knuth's definition, a B-tree of order m is a tree which satisfies the following properties:
- Every node has at most m children.
- Every non-leaf node (except root) has at least ⌈m/2⌉ children.
- The root has at least two children if it is not a leaf node.
- A non-leaf node with k children contains k−1 keys.
- All leaves appear in the same level
Each internal node’s keys act as separation values which divide its subtrees. For example, if an internal node has 3 child nodes (or subtrees) then it must have 2 keys: a1 and a2. All values in the leftmost subtree will be less than a1, all values in the middle subtree will be between a1 and a2, and all values in the rightmost subtree will be greater than a2.Wikipedia

}A binary heap is a tree created using a binary tree. It can be seen as a binary tree with two additional constraints:
-
Shape property:
A binary heap is a complete binary tree; that is, all levels of the tree, except possibly the last one (deepest) are fully filled, and, if the last level of the tree is not complete, the nodes of that level are filled from left to right.
-
Heap property:
All nodes are either greater than or equal to or less than or equal to each of its children, according to a comparison predicate defined for the heap. Wikipedia

}A circular buffer, circular queue, cyclic buffer or ring buffer is a data structure that uses a single, fixed-size buffer as if it were connected end-to-end. This structure lends itself easily to buffering data streams.
Implements Queue, ReverseIteratorWithIndex, JSONSerializer and JSONDeserializer interfaces.
package main
import cb "github.com/emirpasic/gods/queues/circularbuffer"
// CircularBufferExample to demonstrate basic usage of CircularBuffer

}A priority queue is a special type of queue in which each element is associated with a priority value. And, elements are served on the basis of their priority. That is, higher priority elements are served first. However, if elements with the same priority occur, they are served according to their order in the queue.
Implements Queue, ReverseIteratorWithIndex, JSONSerializer and JSONDeserializer interfaces.
package main
import (
pq "github.com/emirpasic/gods/queues/priorityqueue"
"github.com/emirpasic/gods/utils"
)
// Element is an entry in the priority queue
type Element struct {
name string
priority int
}
// Comparator function (sort by element's priority value in descending order)
func byPriority(a, b interface{}) int {
priorityA := a.(Element).priority
priorityB := b.(Element).priority
return -utils.IntComparator(priorityA, priorityB) // "-" descending order
}
// PriorityQueueExample to demonstrate basic usage of BinaryHeap
func main() {
a := Element{name: "a", priority: 1}
b := Element{name: "b", priority: 2}
c := Element{name: "c", priority: 3}
queue := pq.NewWith(byPriority) // empty
queue.Enqueue(a) // {a 1}
queue.Enqueue(c) // {c 3}, {a 1}
queue.Enqueue(b) // {c 3}, {b 2}, {a 1}
_ = queue.Values() // [{c 3} {b 2} {a 1}]
_, _ = queue.Peek() // {c 3} true
_, _ = queue.Dequeue() // {c 3} true
_, _ = queue.Dequeue() // {b 2} true
_, _ = queue.Dequeue() // {a 1} true
_, _ = queue.Dequeue() // <nil> false (nothing to dequeue)
queue.Clear() // empty
_ = queue.Empty() // true
_ = queue.Size() // 0
}Various helper functions used throughout the library.
Some data structures (e.g. TreeMap, TreeSet) require a comparator function to automatically keep their elements sorted upon insertion. This comparator is necessary during the initalization.
Comparator is defined as:
Return values (int):
negative , if a < b
zero , if a == b
positive , if a > bComparator signature:
type Comparator func(a, b interface{}) intAll common comparators for builtin types are included in the library:
func StringComparator(a, b interface{}) int
func IntComparator(a, b interface{}) int
func Int8Comparator(a, b interface{}) int
func Int16Comparator(a, b interface{}) int
func Int32Comparator(a, b interface{}) int
func Int64Comparator(a, b interface{}) int
func UIntComparator(a, b interface{}) int
func UInt8Comparator(a, b interface{}) int
func UInt16Comparator(a, b interface{}) int
func UInt32Comparator(a, b interface{}) int
func UInt64Comparator(a, b interface{}) int
func Float32Comparator(a, b interface{}) int
func Float64Comparator(a, b interface{}) int
func ByteComparator(a, b interface{}) int
func RuneComparator(a, b interface{}) int
func TimeComparator(a, b interface{}) intWriting custom comparators is easy:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/emirpasic/gods/sets/treeset"
)
type User struct {
id int
name string
}
// Custom comparator (sort by IDs)
func byID(a, b interface{}) int {
// Type assertion, program will panic if this is not respected
c1 := a.(User)
c2 := b.(User)
switch {
case c1.id > c2.id:
return 1
case c1.id < c2.id:
return -1
default:
return 0
}
}
func main() {
set := treeset.NewWith(byID)
set.Add(User{2, "Second"})
set.Add(User{3, "Third"})
set.Add(User{1, "First"})
set.Add(User{4, "Fourth"})
fmt.Println(set) // {1 First}, {2 Second}, {3 Third}, {4 Fourth}
}All ordered containers have stateful iterators. Typically an iterator is obtained by Iterator() function of an ordered container. Once obtained, iterator's Next() function moves the iterator to the next element and returns true if there was a next element. If there was an element, then element's can be obtained by iterator's Value() function. Depending on the ordering type, it's position can be obtained by iterator's Index() or Key() functions. Some containers even provide reversible iterators, essentially the same, but provide another extra Prev() function that moves the iterator to the previous element and returns true if there was a previous element.
Note: it is unsafe to remove elements from container while iterating.
An iterator whose elements are referenced by an index.
Typical usage:
it := list.Iterator()
for it.Next() {
index, value := it.Index(), it.Value()
...
}Other usages:
if it.First() {
firstIndex, firstValue := it.Index(), it.Value()
...
}for it.Begin(); it.Next(); {
...
}Seeking to a specific element:
// Seek function, i.e. find element starting with "b"
seek := func(index int, value interface{}) bool {
return strings.HasSuffix(value.(string), "b")
}
// Seek to the condition and continue traversal from that point (forward).
// assumes it.Begin() was called.
for found := it.NextTo(seek); found; found = it.Next() {
index, value := it.Index(), it.Value()
...
}An iterator whose elements are referenced by a key.
Typical usage:
it := tree.Iterator()
for it.Next() {
key, value := it.Key(), it.Value()
...
}Other usages:
if it.First() {
firstKey, firstValue := it.Key(), it.Value()
...
}for it.Begin(); it.Next(); {
...
}Seeking to a specific element from the current iterator position:
// Seek function, i.e. find element starting with "b"
seek := func(key interface{}, value interface{}) bool {
return strings.HasSuffix(value.(string), "b")
}
// Seek to the condition and continue traversal from that point (forward).
// assumes it.Begin() was called.
for found := it.NextTo(seek); found; found = it.Next() {
key, value := it.Key(), it.Value()
...
}An iterator whose elements are referenced by an index. Provides all functions as IteratorWithIndex, but can also be used for reverse iteration.
Typical usage of iteration in reverse:
it := list.Iterator()
for it.End(); it.Prev(); {
index, value := it.Index(), it.Value()
...
}Other usages:
if it.Last() {
lastIndex, lastValue := it.Index(), it.Value()
...
}Seeking to a specific element:
// Seek function, i.e. find element starting with "b"
seek := func(index int, value interface{}) bool {
return strings.HasSuffix(value.(string), "b")
}
// Seek to the condition and continue traversal from that point (in reverse).
// assumes it.End() was called.
for found := it.PrevTo(seek); found; found = it.Prev() {
index, value := it.Index(), it.Value()
...
}An iterator whose elements are referenced by a key. Provides all functions as IteratorWithKey, but can also be used for reverse iteration.
Typical usage of iteration in reverse:
it := tree.Iterator()
for it.End(); it.Prev(); {
key, value := it.Key(), it.Value()
...
}Other usages:
if it.Last() {
lastKey, lastValue := it.Key(), it.Value()
...
}// Seek function, i.e. find element starting with "b"
seek := func(key interface{}, value interface{}) bool {
return strings.HasSuffix(value.(string), "b")
}
// Seek to the condition and continue traversal from that point (in reverse).
// assumes it.End() was called.
for found := it.PrevTo(seek); found; found = it.Prev() {
key, value := it.Key(), it.Value()

}All data structures can be serialized (marshalled) and deserialized (unmarshalled). Currently, only JSON support is available.
Outputs the container into its JSON representation.
Typical usage for key-value structures:
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
"github.com/emirpasic/gods/maps/hashmap"
)
func main() {
m := hashmap.New()
m.Put("a", "1")
m.Put("b", "2")
m.Put("c", "3")
bytes, err := json.Marshal(m) // Same as "m.ToJSON(m)"
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
fmt.Println(string(bytes)) // {"a":"1","b":"2","c":"3"}
}Typical usage for value-only structures:
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
"github.com/emirpasic/gods/lists/arraylist"
)
func main() {
list := arraylist.New()
list.Add("a", "b", "c")
bytes, err := json.Marshal(list) // Same as "list.ToJSON(list)"
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
fmt.Println(string(bytes)) // ["a","b","c"]
}Populates the container with elements from the input JSON representation.
Typical usage for key-value structures:

"fmt"
"github.com/emirpasic/gods/maps/hashmap"
)
func main() {
hm := hashmap.New()
bytes := []byte(`{"a":"1","b":"2"}`)

err := json.Unmarshal(bytes, &list) // Same as "list.FromJSON(bytes)"
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
fmt.Println(list) // ArrayList ["a","b"]
}Sort is a general purpose sort function.
Lists have an in-place Sort() function and all containers can return their sorted elements via containers.GetSortedValues() function.
Internally these all use the utils.Sort() method:
package main
import "github.com/emirpasic/gods/utils"
func main() {
strings := []interface{}{} // []
strings = append(strings, "d") // ["d"]
strings = append(strings, "a") // ["d","a"]
strings = append(strings, "b") // ["d","a",b"
strings = append(strings, "c") // ["d","a",b","c"]
utils.Sort(strings, utils.StringComparator) // ["a","b","c","d"]
}Container specific operations:
// Returns sorted container''s elements with respect to the passed comparator.
// Does not affect the ordering of elements within the container.
func GetSortedValues(container Container, comparator utils.Comparator) []interface{}Usage:
package main
import (
"github.com/emirpasic/gods/lists/arraylist"
"github.com/emirpasic/gods/utils"
)
func main() {
list := arraylist.New()
list.Add(2, 1, 3)
values := GetSortedValues(container, utils.StringComparator) // [1, 2, 3]

There is often a tug of war between speed and memory when crafting algorithms. We choose to optimize for speed in most cases within reasonable limits on memory consumption.
Thread safety is not a concern of this project, this should be handled at a higher level.
This takes a while, so test within sub-packages:
