This repository contains Go based examples of many popular algorithms and data structures, and this repository is inspired by JavaScript-Algorithms
This repository is still working in progress.
Each algorithm and data structure have its own separate README with related explanations and links for further reading and YouTube videos.
Data structure is a particular way of organizing and storing data in a computer so that it can be accessed and modified efficiently. More precisely, a data structure is a collection of data values, the relationships among them, and the functions or operations that can be applied to the data.
- Linked List
- Queue
- Stack
- Hash Table
- Heap
- Priority Queue
- Trie
- Tree
- Binary Search Tree
- AVL Tree
- Red-Black Tree
- Suffix Tree
- Segment Tree or Interval Tree
- Binary Indexed Tree or Fenwick Tree
- Graph
- Disjoint Set

Order of growth of algorithms specified in Big O notation.

Below is the list of some of the most used Big O notations and their performance comparisons against different sizes of the input data.
| Big O Notation | Computations for 10 elements | Computations for 100 elements | Computations for 1000 elements |
|---|---|---|---|
| O(1) | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| O(log N) | 3 | 6 | 9 |
| O(N) | 10 | 100 | 1000 |
| O(N log N) | 30 | 600 | 9000 |
| O(N^2) | 100 | 10000 | 1000000 |
| O(2^N) | 1024 | 1.26e+29 | 1.07e+301 |
| O(N!) | 3628800 | 9.3e+157 | 4.02e+2567 |
| Data Structure | Access | Search | Insertion | Deletion | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Array | 1 | n | n | n | |
| Stack | n | n | 1 | 1 | |
| Queue | n | n | 1 | 1 | |
| Linked List | n | n | 1 | 1 | |
| Hash Table | - | n | n | n | In case of perfect hash function costs would be O(1) |
| Binary Search Tree | n | n | n | n | In case of balanced tree costs would be O(log(n)) |
| B-Tree | log(n) | log(n) | log(n) | log(n) | |
| Red-Black Tree | log(n) | log(n) | log(n) | log(n) | |
| AVL Tree | log(n) | log(n) | log(n) | log(n) |
