《Algorithms 4th Edition》读书笔记——3.1 符号表(Elementary Symbol Tables)-Ⅳ

3.1.4 无序链表中的顺序查找

符号表中使用的数据结构的一个简单选择是链表,每个结点存储一个键值对,如以下代码所示。get()的实现即为遍历链表,用equals()方法比较需被查找的键和每个节点中的键。如果匹配成功我们就返回null。put()的实现也是遍历链表,用equals()方法比较需被查找的键。如果匹配成功我们就用第二个参数指定的值更新和改键现关联的值,否则我们就用给定的键值对创建一个新的节点并将其插入到链表的开头。这种方法也被称为顺序查找:在查找中我们一个一个地顺序遍历符号表中的所有键并使用equals()方法来寻找与被查找的键匹配的键。

 

算法(SequentialSearchST)用链表实现了符号表的基本API,这里我们将size()、keys()和即时型的delete()方法留作联系。

这种基于链表的实现能够用于和我们的用例类似的、需要大型符号表的应用?我们已经说过,分析符号表算法比分析排序算法更加困难,因为不同的用例所进行的操作序列各不相同。对于FrequencyCounter,最常见的情形是虽然查找和插入的使用模式是不可预测的,但他妈的使用肯定不是随机的。因此我们主要研究最坏情况下的性能。为了方便,我们使用命令中表示一次成功的查找来命中表示一次失败的查找。使用基于链表的符号表的索引引用例的轨迹如下图。

 

 

符号表的实现是i用了一个私有内部Node类来在链表中保存键和值。get()的实现会顺序地搜索链表查找给定的键(找到则返回相关联的值)。put()的实现也会顺序地搜索链表查找给定的键,如果找到则更新相关联的值,否则它会用给定的键值对创建一个新的结点并将其插入到链表的开头。size()、keys()和即时型的delete()方法的实现自行练习。

 


 命题A。在含有N对键值的基于(无序)链表的符号表中,未命中的查找和插入操作都需要N次比较。未命中的查找和插入都需要N次比较。命中的查找在最坏情况下需要N次比较。特别地,向一个空表中插入N个不用的键余姚~N^2 / 2次比较。

证明。在表中查找一个不存在的键时,我们会将表中的每个键和给定的键比较。因为不允许出现重复的键,每次插入操作之前我们都需要这样查找一遍。

 

推论想空表中插入N个不同的键需要~N^2 / 2次比较。
