Template:List data structure comparison
Revision as of 13:15, 22 July 2012 by imported>Angbor (insert/delete somewhere in middle of linked list is only O(1); additional time comes from indexing which is usually not necessary and listed separately)
| Linked list | Array | Dynamic array |
Balanced tree |
Random access list | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indexing | Θ(n) | Θ(1) | Θ(1) | Θ(log n) | Θ(log n) |
| Insert/delete at beginning | Θ(1) | N/A | Θ(n) | Θ(log n) | Θ(1) |
| Insert/delete at end | Θ(1) | N/A | Θ(1) amortized | Θ(log n) | Θ(log n) updating |
| Insert/delete in middle | Θ(1) | N/A | Θ(n) | Θ(log n) | Θ(log n) updating |
| Wasted space (average) | Θ(n) | 0 | Θ(n)[1] | Θ(n) | Θ(n) |
