During my interactions with readers, the most common question I encountered was \"How to get started with algorithms.\" Gradually, I developed a deep interest in this question.</p> <p>Blindly solving problems seems to be the most popular method, being simple, direct, and effective. However, problem-solving is like playing a \"Minesweeper\" game, where students with strong self-learning abilities can successfully clear the mines one by one, but those with insufficient foundations may end up bruised from explosions, retreating step by step in frustration. Thoroughly reading textbooks is also common, but for students aiming for job applications, the energy consumed by graduation, resume submissions, and preparing for written tests and interviews makes tackling thick books a daunting challenge.</p> <p>If you are facing similar troubles, then you are lucky to have found this book. This book is my answer to this question, not necessarily the best solution, but at least an active attempt. Although this book won't directly land you an Offer, it will guide you through the \"knowledge map\" of data structures and algorithms, help you understand the shape, size, and distribution of different \"mines,\" and equip you with various \"demining methods.\" With these skills, I believe you can more comfortably solve problems and read literature, gradually building a complete knowledge system.</p> <p>I deeply agree with Professor Feynman's saying: \"Knowledge isn't free. You have to pay attention.\" In this sense, this book is not entirely \"free.\" To not disappoint the precious \"attention\" you pay to this book, I will do my utmost, investing the greatest \"attention\" to complete the creation of this book.</p>  Author  <p>Yudong Jin(Krahets), Senior Algorithm Engineer in a top tech company, Master's degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The highest-read blogger across the entire LeetCode, his published \"Illustration of Algorithm Data Structures\" has been subscribed to by over 300k.</p>  Contribution  <p>This book is continuously improved with the joint efforts of many contributors from the open-source community. Thanks to each writer who invested their time and energy, listed in the order generated by GitHub:</p> <p> </p> <p>The code review work for this book was completed by Gonglja, gvenusleo, hpstory, justin\u2010tse, krahets, night-cruise, nuomi1, Reanon, and sjinzh (listed in alphabetical order).

When insertion is at one end and deletion is at the other, it shows first-in-first-out characteristics, corresponding to a queue.</li> <li>Hash Tables: Chaining is one of the mainstream solutions to hash collisions, where all colliding elements are placed in a linked list.</li> <li>Graphs: Adjacency lists are a common way to represent graphs, where each vertex is associated with a linked list. Each element in the list represents other vertices connected to that vertex.</li> </ul> <p>Doubly linked lists are commonly used in scenarios that require quick access to the previous and next elements.</p> <ul> <li>Advanced Data Structures: For example, in red-black trees and B-trees, we need to access a node's parent, which can be achieved by storing a reference to the parent node in each node, similar to a doubly linked list.</li> <li>Browser History: In web browsers, when a user clicks the forward or backward button, the browser needs to know the previously and next visited web pages. The properties of a doubly linked list make this operation simple.</li> <li>LRU Algorithm: In Least Recently Used (LRU) cache eviction algorithms, we need to quickly find the least recently used data and support rapid addition and deletion of nodes. Here, using a doubly linked list is very appropriate.</li> </ul> <p>Circular linked lists are commonly used in scenarios requiring periodic operations, such as resource scheduling in operating systems.</p> <ul> <li>Round-Robin Scheduling Algorithm: In operating systems, the round-robin scheduling algorithm is a common CPU scheduling algorithm that cycles through a group of processes. Each process is assigned a time slice, and when it expires, the CPU switches to the next process. This circular operation can be implemented using a circular linked list.</li> <li>Data Buffers: Circular linked lists may also be used in some data buffer implementations. For instance, in audio and video players, the data stream might be divided into multiple buffer blocks placed in a circular linked list to achieve seamless playback.</li> </ul>"},{"location":"chapter_array_and_linkedlist/list/","title":"4.3 \u00a0 List","text":"<p>A \"list\" is an abstract data structure concept, representing an ordered collection of elements.

In this example, we choose 10 as the initial capacity.</li> <li>Size Recording: Declare a variable <code>size</code> to record the current number of elements in the list, updating in real-time with element insertion and deletion. With this variable, we can locate the end of the list and determine whether expansion is needed.</li> <li>Expansion Mechanism: If the list's capacity is full when inserting an element, expansion is necessary.

The proportion of successful data retrieval from the cache by the CPU is called the \"cache hit rate,\" a metric often used to measure cache efficiency.</p> <p>To achieve higher efficiency, caches adopt the following data loading mechanisms.</p> <ul> <li>Cache Lines: Caches don't store and load data byte by byte but in units of cache lines. Compared to byte-by-byte transfer, the transmission of cache lines is more efficient.</li> <li>Prefetch Mechanism: Processors try to predict data access patterns (such as sequential access, fixed stride jumping access, etc.) and load data into the cache according to specific patterns to improve the hit rate.</li> <li>Spatial Locality: If data is accessed, data nearby is likely to be accessed in the near future. Therefore, when loading certain data, the cache also loads nearby data to improve the hit rate.</li> <li>Temporal Locality: If data is accessed, it's likely to be accessed again in the near future.

However, stacks and heaps have their own characteristics, leading to the following differences.</p> <ol> <li>Allocation and release efficiency: The stack is a smaller memory block, allocated automatically by the compiler; the heap memory is relatively larger and can be dynamically allocated in the code, more prone to fragmentation. Therefore, allocation and release operations on the heap are generally slower than on the stack.</li> <li>Size limitation: Stack memory is relatively small, while the heap size is generally limited by available memory. Therefore, the heap is more suitable for storing large arrays.</li> <li>Flexibility: The size of arrays on the stack needs to be determined at compile-time, while the size of arrays on the heap can be dynamically determined at runtime.</li> </ol> <p>Why do arrays require elements of the same type, while linked lists do not emphasize same-type elements?</p> <p>Linked lists consist of nodes connected by references (pointers), and each node can store data of different types, such as int, double, string, object, etc.</p> <p>In contrast, array elements must be of the same type, allowing the calculation of offsets to access the corresponding element positions. For example, an array containing both int and long types, with single elements occupying 4 bytes and 8 bytes respectively, cannot use the following formula to calculate offsets, as the array contains elements of two different lengths.</p> <pre><code># Element memory address = Array memory address + Element length * Element index\n</code></pre> <p>After deleting a node, is it necessary to set <code>P.next</code> to <code>None</code>?</p> <p>Not modifying <code>P.next</code> is also acceptable. From the perspective of the linked list, traversing from the head node to the tail node will no longer encounter <code>P</code>. This means that node <code>P</code> has been effectively removed from the list, and where <code>P</code> points no longer affects the list.</p> <p>From a garbage collection perspective, for languages with automatic garbage collection mechanisms like Java, Python, and Go, whether node <code>P</code> is collected depends on whether there are still references pointing to it, not on the value of <code>P.next</code>. In languages like C and C++, we need to manually free the node's memory.</p> <p>In linked lists, the time complexity for insertion and deletion operations is <code>O(1)</code>. But searching for the element before insertion or deletion takes <code>O(n)</code> time, so why isn't the time complexity <code>O(n)</code>?</p> <p>If an element is searched first and then deleted, the time complexity is indeed <code>O(n)</code>. However, the <code>O(1)</code> advantage of linked lists in insertion and deletion can be realized in other applications. For example, in the implementation of double-ended queues using linked lists, we maintain pointers always pointing to the head and tail nodes, making each insertion and deletion operation <code>O(1)</code>.</p> <p>In the image 'Linked List Definition and Storage Method', do the light blue storage nodes occupy a single memory address, or do they share half with the node value?</p> <p>The diagram is just a qualitative representation; quantitative analysis depends on specific situations.</p> <ul> <li>Different types of node values occupy different amounts of space, such as int, long, double, and object instances.</li> <li>The memory space occupied by pointer variables depends on the operating system and compilation environment used, usually 8 bytes or 4 bytes.</li> </ul> <p>Is adding elements to the end of a list always <code>O(1)</code>?</p> <p>If adding an element exceeds the list length, the list needs to be expanded first. The system will request a new memory block and move all elements of the original list over, in which case the time complexity becomes <code>O(n)</code>.</p> <p>The statement 'The emergence of lists greatly improves the practicality of arrays, but may lead to some memory space wastage' - does this refer to the memory occupied by additional variables like capacity, length, and expansion multiplier?</p> <p>The space wastage here mainly refers to two aspects: on the one hand, lists are set with an initial length, which we may not always need; on the other hand, to prevent frequent expansion, expansion usually multiplies by a coefficient, such as \\(\\times 1.5\\). This results in many empty slots, which we typically cannot fully fill.</p> <p>In Python, after initializing <code>n = [1, 2, 3]</code>, the addresses of these 3 elements are contiguous, but initializing <code>m = [2, 1, 3]</code> shows that each element's <code>id</code> is not consecutive but identical to those in <code>n</code>. If the addresses of these elements are not contiguous, is <code>m</code> still an array?</p> <p>If we replace list elements with linked list nodes <code>n = [n1, n2, n3, n4, n5]</code>, these 5 node objects are also typically dispersed throughout memory. However, given a list index, we can still access the node's memory address in <code>O(1)</code> time, thereby accessing the corresponding node. This is because the array stores references to the nodes, not the nodes themselves.</p> <p>Unlike many languages, in Python, numbers are also wrapped as objects, and lists store references to these numbers, not the numbers themselves. Therefore, we find that the same number in two arrays has the same <code>id</code>, and these numbers' memory addresses need not be contiguous.</p> <p>The <code>std::list</code> in C++ STL has already implemented a doubly linked list, but it seems that some algorithm books don't directly use it. Is there any limitation?</p> <p>On the one hand, we often prefer to use arrays to implement algorithms, only using linked lists when necessary, mainly for two reasons.</p> <ul> <li>Space overhead: Since each element requires two additional pointers (one for the previous element and one for the next), <code>std::list</code> usually occupies more space than <code>std::vector</code>.</li> <li>Cache unfriendly: As the data is not stored continuously, <code>std::list</code> has a lower cache utilization rate. Generally, <code>std::vector</code> performs better.</li> </ul> <p>On the other hand, linked lists are primarily necessary for binary trees and graphs. Stacks and queues are often implemented using the programming language's <code>stack</code> and <code>queue</code> classes, rather than linked lists.</p> <p>Does initializing a list <code>res = [0] * self.size()</code> result in each element of <code>res</code> referencing the same address?</p> <p>No. However, this issue arises with two-dimensional arrays, for example, initializing a two-dimensional list <code>res = [[0] * self.size()]</code> would reference the same list <code>[0]</code> multiple times.</p> <p>In deleting a node, is it necessary to break the reference to its successor node?</p> <p>From the perspective of data structures and algorithms (problem-solving), it's okay not to break the link, as long as the program's logic is correct. From the perspective of standard libraries, breaking the link is safer and more logically clear. If the link is not broken, and the deleted node is not properly recycled, it could affect the recycling of the successor node's memory.</p>"},{"location":"chapter_computational_complexity/","title":"Chapter 2. \u00a0 Complexity Analysis","text":"<p>Abstract</p> <p>Complexity analysis is like a space-time navigator in the vast universe of algorithms.</p> <p>It guides us in exploring deeper within the the dimensions of time and space, seeking more elegant solutions.</p>"},{"location":"chapter_computational_complexity/#_1","title":"\u672c\u7ae0\u5185\u5bb9","text":"<ul> <li>2.1 \u00a0 Algorithm Efficiency Assessment</li> <li>2.2 \u00a0 Iteration and Recursion</li> <li>2.3 \u00a0 Time Complexity</li> <li>2.4 \u00a0 Space Complexity</li> <li>2.5 \u00a0 Summary</li> </ul>"},{"location":"chapter_computational_complexity/iteration_and_recursion/","title":"2.2 \u00a0 Iteration and Recursion","text":"<p>In algorithms, repeatedly performing a task is common and closely related to complexity analysis.

Obviously, the running platform and the types of computational operations are irrelevant to the trend of run time growth. Therefore, in time complexity analysis, we can simply treat the execution time of all computational operations as the same \"unit time,\" simplifying the \"computational operation run time count\" to a \"computational operation count.\" This significantly reduces the complexity of estimation.</li> <li>Time complexity has its limitations. For example, although algorithms <code>A</code> and <code>C</code> have the same time complexity, their actual run times can be quite different. Similarly, even though algorithm <code>B</code> has a higher time complexity than <code>C</code>, it is clearly superior when the input data size \\(n\\) is small. In these cases, it's difficult to judge the efficiency of algorithms based solely on time complexity.

The worst-case time complexity is more practical as it provides a safety value for efficiency, allowing us to confidently use the algorithm.</p> <p>From the above example, it's clear that both the worst-case and best-case time complexities only occur under \"special data distributions,\" which may have a small probability of occurrence and may not accurately reflect the algorithm's run efficiency. In contrast, the average time complexity can reflect the algorithm's efficiency under random input data, denoted by the \\(\\Theta\\) notation.</p> <p>For some algorithms, we can simply estimate the average case under a random data distribution. For example, in the aforementioned example, since the input array is shuffled, the probability of element \\(1\\) appearing at any index is equal. Therefore, the average number of loops for the algorithm is half the length of the array \\(n / 2\\), giving an average time complexity of \\(\\Theta(n / 2) = \\Theta(n)\\).</p> <p>However, calculating the average time complexity for more complex algorithms can be quite difficult, as it's challenging to analyze the overall mathematical expectation under the data distribution. In such cases, we usually use the worst-case time complexity as the standard for judging the efficiency of the algorithm.</p> <p>Why is the \\(\\Theta\\) symbol rarely seen?</p> <p>Possibly because the \\(O\\) notation is more commonly spoken, it is often used to represent the average time complexity. However, strictly speaking, this practice is not accurate.

On the other hand, the existence of multiple character set standards for the same language caused garbled text when information was exchanged between computers using different encoding standards.</p> <p>Researchers of that era thought: What if we introduced a comprehensive character set that included all languages and symbols worldwide, wouldn't that solve the problems of cross-language environments and garbled text? Driven by this idea, the extensive character set, Unicode, was born.</p> <p>The Chinese name for \"Unicode\" is \"\u7edf\u4e00\u7801\" (Unified Code), theoretically capable of accommodating over a million characters. It aims to incorporate characters from all over the world into a single set, providing a universal character set for processing and displaying various languages and reducing the issues of garbled text due to different encoding standards.</p> <p>Since its release in 1991, Unicode has continually expanded to include new languages and characters. As of September 2022, Unicode contains 149,186 characters, including characters, symbols, and even emojis from various languages. In the vast Unicode character set, commonly used characters occupy 2 bytes, while some rare characters take up 3 or even 4 bytes.</p> <p>Unicode is a universal character set that assigns a number (called a \"code point\") to each character, but it does not specify how these character code points should be stored in a computer. One might ask: When Unicode code points of varying lengths appear in a text, how does the system parse the characters? For example, given a 2-byte code, how does the system determine if it represents a single 2-byte character or two 1-byte characters?</p> <p>A straightforward solution to this problem is to store all characters as equal-length encodings. As shown in the Figure 3-7 , each character in \"Hello\" occupies 1 byte, while each character in \"\u7b97\u6cd5\" (algorithm) occupies 2 bytes. We could encode all characters in \"Hello \u7b97\u6cd5\" as 2 bytes by padding the higher bits with zeros. This way, the system can parse a character every 2 bytes, recovering the content of the phrase.</p> <p></p> <p> Figure 3-7 \u00a0 Unicode Encoding Example </p> <p>However, as ASCII has shown us, encoding English only requires 1 byte.

ASCII characters need only 1 byte, Latin and Greek letters require 2 bytes, commonly used Chinese characters need 3 bytes, and some other rare characters need 4 bytes.</p> <p>The encoding rules for UTF-8 are not complex and can be divided into two cases:</p> <ul> <li>For 1-byte characters, set the highest bit to \\(0\\), and the remaining 7 bits to the Unicode code point. Notably, ASCII characters occupy the first 128 code points in the Unicode set. This means that UTF-8 encoding is backward compatible with ASCII. This implies that UTF-8 can be used to parse ancient ASCII text.</li> <li>For characters of length \\(n\\) bytes (where \\(n &gt; 1\\)), set the highest \\(n\\) bits of the first byte to \\(1\\), and the \\((n + 1)^{\\text{th}}\\) bit to \\(0\\); starting from the second byte, set the highest 2 bits of each byte to \\(10\\); the rest of the bits are used to fill the Unicode code point.</li> </ul> <p>The Figure 3-8  shows the UTF-8 encoding for \"Hello\u7b97\u6cd5\". It can be observed that since the highest \\(n\\) bits are set to \\(1\\), the system can determine the length of the character as \\(n\\) by counting the number of highest bits set to \\(1\\).</p> <p>But why set the highest 2 bits of the remaining bytes to \\(10\\)? Actually, this \\(10\\) serves as a kind of checksum. If the system starts parsing text from an incorrect byte, the \\(10\\) at the beginning of the byte can help the system quickly detect an anomaly.</p> <p>The reason for using \\(10\\) as a checksum is that, under UTF-8 encoding rules, it's impossible for the highest two bits of a character to be \\(10\\). This can be proven by contradiction: If the highest two bits of a character are \\(10\\), it indicates that the character's length is \\(1\\), corresponding to ASCII. However, the highest bit of an ASCII character should be \\(0\\), contradicting the assumption.</p> <p></p> <p> Figure 3-8 \u00a0 UTF-8 Encoding Example </p> <p>Apart from UTF-8, other common encoding methods include:</p> <ul> <li>UTF-16 Encoding: Uses 2 or 4 bytes to represent a character.

When JavaScript was first introduced by Netscape in 1995, Unicode was still in its early stages, and 16-bit encoding was sufficient to represent all Unicode characters.</li> <li>C# uses UTF-16 encoding, largely because the .NET platform, designed by Microsoft, and many Microsoft technologies, including the Windows operating system, extensively use UTF-16 encoding.</li> </ul> <p>Due to the underestimation of character counts, these languages had to resort to using \"surrogate pairs\" to represent Unicode characters exceeding 16 bits. This approach has its drawbacks: strings containing surrogate pairs may have characters occupying 2 or 4 bytes, losing the advantage of fixed-length encoding, and handling surrogate pairs adds to the complexity and debugging difficulty of programming.</p> <p>Owing to these reasons, some programming languages have adopted different encoding schemes:</p> <ul> <li>Python\u2019s <code>str</code> type uses Unicode encoding with a flexible representation where the storage length of characters depends on the largest Unicode code point in the string.

This phenomenon, somewhat counterintuitive, is rooted in the concepts of sign-magnitude, one's complement, and two's complement encoding.</p> <p>Firstly, it's important to note that numbers are stored in computers using the two's complement form. Before analyzing why this is the case, let's define these three encoding methods:</p> <ul> <li>Sign-magnitude: The highest bit of a binary representation of a number is considered the sign bit, where \\(0\\) represents a positive number and \\(1\\) represents a negative number. The remaining bits represent the value of the number.</li> <li>One's complement: The one's complement of a positive number is the same as its sign-magnitude. For negative numbers, it's obtained by inverting all bits except the sign bit.</li> <li>Two's complement: The two's complement of a positive number is the same as its sign-magnitude. For negative numbers, it's obtained by adding \\(1\\) to their one's complement.</li> </ul> <p>The following diagram illustrates the conversions among sign-magnitude, one's complement, and two's complement:</p> <p></p> <p> Figure 3-4 \u00a0 Conversions between Sign-Magnitude, One's Complement, and Two's Complement </p> <p>Although sign-magnitude is the most intuitive, it has limitations. For one, negative numbers in sign-magnitude cannot be directly used in calculations. For example, in sign-magnitude, calculating \\(1 + (-2)\\) results in \\(-3\\), which is incorrect.</p> \\[ \\begin{aligned} &amp; 1 + (-2) \\newline &amp; \\rightarrow 0000 \\; 0001 + 1000 \\; 0010 \\newline &amp; = 1000 \\; 0011 \\newline &amp; \\rightarrow -3 \\end{aligned} \\] <p>To address this, computers introduced the one's complement. If we convert to one's complement and calculate \\(1 + (-2)\\), then convert the result back to sign-magnitude, we get the correct result of \\(-1\\).</p> \\[ \\begin{aligned} &amp; 1 + (-2) \\newline &amp; \\rightarrow 0000 \\; 0001 \\; \\text{(Sign-magnitude)} + 1000 \\; 0010 \\; \\text{(Sign-magnitude)} \\newline &amp; = 0000 \\; 0001 \\; \\text{(One's complement)} + 1111 \\; 1101 \\; \\text{(One's complement)} \\newline &amp; = 1111 \\; 1110 \\; \\text{(One's complement)} \\newline &amp; = 1000 \\; 0001 \\; \\text{(Sign-magnitude)} \\newline &amp; \\rightarrow -1 \\end{aligned} \\] <p>Additionally, there are two representations of zero in sign-magnitude: \\(+0\\) and \\(-0\\). This means two different binary encodings for zero, which could lead to ambiguity. For example, in conditional checks, not differentiating between positive and negative zero might result in incorrect outcomes. Addressing this ambiguity would require additional checks, potentially reducing computational efficiency.</p> \\[ \\begin{aligned} +0 &amp; \\rightarrow 0000 \\; 0000 \\newline -0 &amp; \\rightarrow 1000 \\; 0000 \\end{aligned} \\] <p>Like sign-magnitude, one's complement also suffers from the positive and negative zero ambiguity. Therefore, computers further introduced the two's complement. Let's observe the conversion process for negative zero in sign-magnitude, one's complement, and two's complement:</p> \\[ \\begin{aligned} -0 \\rightarrow \\; &amp; 1000 \\; 0000 \\; \\text{(Sign-magnitude)} \\newline = \\; &amp; 1111 \\; 1111 \\; \\text{(One's complement)} \\newline = 1 \\; &amp; 0000 \\; 0000 \\; \\text{(Two's complement)} \\newline \\end{aligned} \\] <p>Adding \\(1\\) to the one's complement of negative zero produces a carry, but with <code>byte</code> length being only 8 bits, the carried-over \\(1\\) to the 9<sup>th</sup> bit is discarded. Therefore, the two's complement of negative zero is \\(0000 \\; 0000\\), the same as positive zero, thus resolving the ambiguity.</p> <p>One last puzzle is the \\([-128, 127]\\) range for <code>byte</code>, with an additional negative number, \\(-128\\). We observe that for the interval \\([-127, +127]\\), all integers have corresponding sign-magnitude, one's complement, and two's complement, and these can be converted between each other.</p> <p>However, the two's complement \\(1000 \\; 0000\\) is an exception without a corresponding sign-magnitude. According to the conversion method, its sign-magnitude would be \\(0000 \\; 0000\\), which is a contradiction since this represents zero, and its two's complement should be itself. Computers designate this special two's complement \\(1000 \\; 0000\\) as representing \\(-128\\).

This is because addition is simpler to implement in hardware compared to other operations like multiplication, division, and subtraction, allowing for easier parallelization and faster computation.</p> <p>It's important to note that this doesn't mean computers can only perform addition. By combining addition with basic logical operations, computers can execute a variety of other mathematical operations. For example, the subtraction \\(a - b\\) can be translated into \\(a + (-b)\\); multiplication and division can be translated into multiple additions or subtractions.</p> <p>We can now summarize the reason for using two's complement in computers: with two's complement representation, computers can use the same circuits and operations to handle both positive and negative number addition, eliminating the need for special hardware circuits for subtraction and avoiding the ambiguity of positive and negative zero. This greatly simplifies hardware design and enhances computational efficiency.</p> <p>The design of two's complement is quite ingenious, and due to space constraints, we'll stop here.

Let's consider a 32-bit binary number as:</p> \\[ b_{31} b_{30} b_{29} \\ldots b_2 b_1 b_0 \\] <p>According to the IEEE 754 standard, a 32-bit <code>float</code> consists of the following three parts:</p> <ul> <li>Sign bit \\(\\mathrm{S}\\): Occupies 1 bit, corresponding to \\(b_{31}\\).</li> <li>Exponent bit \\(\\mathrm{E}\\): Occupies 8 bits, corresponding to \\(b_{30} b_{29} \\ldots b_{23}\\).</li> <li>Fraction bit \\(\\mathrm{N}\\): Occupies 23 bits, corresponding to \\(b_{22} b_{21} \\ldots b_0\\).</li> </ul> <p>The value of a binary <code>float</code> number is calculated as:</p> \\[ \\text{val} = (-1)^{b_{31}} \\times 2^{\\left(b_{30} b_{29} \\ldots b_{23}\\right)_2 - 127} \\times \\left(1 . b_{22} b_{21} \\ldots b_0\\right)_2 \\] <p>Converted to a decimal formula, this becomes:</p> \\[ \\text{val} = (-1)^{\\mathrm{S}} \\times 2^{\\mathrm{E} - 127} \\times (1 + \\mathrm{N}) \\] <p>The range of each component is:</p> \\[ \\begin{aligned} \\mathrm{S} \\in &amp; \\{ 0, 1\\}, \\quad \\mathrm{E} \\in \\{ 1, 2, \\dots, 254 \\} \\newline (1 + \\mathrm{N}) = &amp; (1 + \\sum_{i=1}^{23} b_{23-i} \\times 2^{-i}) \\subset [1, 2 - 2^{-23}] \\end{aligned} \\] <p></p> <p> Figure 3-5 \u00a0 Example Calculation of a float in IEEE 754 Standard </p> <p>Observing the diagram, given an example data \\(\\mathrm{S} = 0\\), \\(\\mathrm{E} = 124\\), \\(\\mathrm{N} = 2^{-2} + 2^{-3} = 0.375\\), we have:</p> \\[ \\text{val} = (-1)^0 \\times 2^{124 - 127} \\times (1 + 0.375) = 0.171875 \\] <p>Now we can answer the initial question: The representation of <code>float</code> includes an exponent bit, leading to a much larger range than <code>int</code>. Based on the above calculation, the maximum positive number representable by <code>float</code> is approximately \\(2^{254 - 127} \\times (2 - 2^{-23}) \\approx 3.4 \\times 10^{38}\\), and the minimum negative number is obtained by switching the sign bit.</p> <p>However, the trade-off for <code>float</code>'s expanded range is a sacrifice in precision. The integer type <code>int</code> uses all 32 bits to represent the number, with values evenly distributed; but due to the exponent bit, the larger the value of a <code>float</code>, the greater the difference between adjacent numbers.</p> <p>As shown in the Table 3-2 , exponent bits \\(E = 0\\) and \\(E = 255\\) have special meanings, used to represent zero, infinity, \\(\\mathrm{NaN}\\), etc.</p> <p> Table 3-2 \u00a0 Meaning of Exponent Bits </p> Exponent Bit E Fraction Bit \\(\\mathrm{N} = 0\\) Fraction Bit \\(\\mathrm{N} \\ne 0\\) Calculation Formula \\(0\\) \\(\\pm 0\\) Subnormal Numbers \\((-1)^{\\mathrm{S}} \\times 2^{-126} \\times (0.\\mathrm{N})\\) \\(1, 2, \\dots, 254\\) Normal Numbers Normal Numbers \\((-1)^{\\mathrm{S}} \\times 2^{(\\mathrm{E} -127)} \\times (1.\\mathrm{N})\\) \\(255\\) \\(\\pm \\infty\\) \\(\\mathrm{NaN}\\) <p>It's worth noting that subnormal numbers significantly improve the precision of floating-point numbers.

To resolve hash collisions, we may use \"chaining\": each bucket in the array points to a linked list, which, when exceeding a certain threshold, might be transformed into a tree (usually a red-black tree). From a storage perspective, the foundation of a hash table is an array, where each bucket slot might contain a value, a linked list, or a tree. Therefore, hash tables may contain both linear data structures (arrays, linked lists) and non-linear data structures (trees).</p> <p>Is the length of the <code>char</code> type 1 byte?</p> <p>The length of the <code>char</code> type is determined by the encoding method used by the programming language. For example, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, and C# all use UTF-16 encoding (to save Unicode code points), so the length of the char type is 2 bytes.</p> <p>Is there ambiguity in calling data structures based on arrays 'static data structures'? Because operations like push and pop on stacks are 'dynamic.'</p> <p>While stacks indeed allow for dynamic data operations, the data structure itself remains \"static\" (with unchangeable length).

Here, I will give a few specific examples to prove this point.</p> <p>Example 1: Looking Up a Dictionary. In an English dictionary, words are listed alphabetically. Suppose we're searching for a word that starts with the letter \\(r\\).

During my interactions with readers, the most common question I encountered was \"How to get started with algorithms.\" Gradually, I developed a deep interest in this question.</p> <p>Blindly solving problems seems to be the most popular method, being simple, direct, and effective. However, problem-solving is like playing a \"Minesweeper\" game, where students with strong self-learning abilities can successfully clear the mines one by one, but those with insufficient foundations may end up bruised from explosions, retreating step by step in frustration. Thoroughly reading textbooks is also common, but for students aiming for job applications, the energy consumed by graduation, resume submissions, and preparing for written tests and interviews makes tackling thick books a daunting challenge.</p> <p>If you are facing similar troubles, then you are lucky to have found this book. This book is my answer to this question, not necessarily the best solution, but at least an active attempt. Although this book won't directly land you an Offer, it will guide you through the \"knowledge map\" of data structures and algorithms, help you understand the shape, size, and distribution of different \"mines,\" and equip you with various \"demining methods.\" With these skills, I believe you can more comfortably solve problems and read literature, gradually building a complete knowledge system.</p> <p>I deeply agree with Professor Feynman's saying: \"Knowledge isn't free. You have to pay attention.\" In this sense, this book is not entirely \"free.\" To not disappoint the precious \"attention\" you pay to this book, I will do my utmost, investing the greatest \"attention\" to complete the creation of this book.</p>  Author  <p>Yudong Jin(Krahets), Senior Algorithm Engineer in a top tech company, Master's degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The highest-read blogger across the entire LeetCode, his published \"Illustration of Algorithm Data Structures\" has been subscribed to by over 300k.</p>  Contribution  <p>This book is continuously improved with the joint efforts of many contributors from the open-source community.

When insertion is at one end and deletion is at the other, it shows first-in-first-out characteristics, corresponding to a queue.</li> <li>Hash Tables: Chaining is one of the mainstream solutions to hash collisions, where all colliding elements are placed in a linked list.</li> <li>Graphs: Adjacency lists are a common way to represent graphs, where each vertex is associated with a linked list. Each element in the list represents other vertices connected to that vertex.</li> </ul> <p>Doubly linked lists are commonly used in scenarios that require quick access to the previous and next elements.</p> <ul> <li>Advanced Data Structures: For example, in red-black trees and B-trees, we need to access a node's parent, which can be achieved by storing a reference to the parent node in each node, similar to a doubly linked list.</li> <li>Browser History: In web browsers, when a user clicks the forward or backward button, the browser needs to know the previously and next visited web pages. The properties of a doubly linked list make this operation simple.</li> <li>LRU Algorithm: In Least Recently Used (LRU) cache eviction algorithms, we need to quickly find the least recently used data and support rapid addition and deletion of nodes. Here, using a doubly linked list is very appropriate.</li> </ul> <p>Circular linked lists are commonly used in scenarios requiring periodic operations, such as resource scheduling in operating systems.</p> <ul> <li>Round-Robin Scheduling Algorithm: In operating systems, the round-robin scheduling algorithm is a common CPU scheduling algorithm that cycles through a group of processes. Each process is assigned a time slice, and when it expires, the CPU switches to the next process. This circular operation can be implemented using a circular linked list.</li> <li>Data Buffers: Circular linked lists may also be used in some data buffer implementations. For instance, in audio and video players, the data stream might be divided into multiple buffer blocks placed in a circular linked list to achieve seamless playback.</li> </ul>"},{"location":"chapter_array_and_linkedlist/list/","title":"4.3 \u00a0 List","text":"<p>A \"list\" is an abstract data structure concept, representing an ordered collection of elements.

In this example, we choose 10 as the initial capacity.</li> <li>Size Recording: Declare a variable <code>size</code> to record the current number of elements in the list, updating in real-time with element insertion and deletion. With this variable, we can locate the end of the list and determine whether expansion is needed.</li> <li>Expansion Mechanism: If the list's capacity is full when inserting an element, expansion is necessary.

The proportion of successful data retrieval from the cache by the CPU is called the \"cache hit rate,\" a metric often used to measure cache efficiency.</p> <p>To achieve higher efficiency, caches adopt the following data loading mechanisms.</p> <ul> <li>Cache Lines: Caches don't store and load data byte by byte but in units of cache lines. Compared to byte-by-byte transfer, the transmission of cache lines is more efficient.</li> <li>Prefetch Mechanism: Processors try to predict data access patterns (such as sequential access, fixed stride jumping access, etc.) and load data into the cache according to specific patterns to improve the hit rate.</li> <li>Spatial Locality: If data is accessed, data nearby is likely to be accessed in the near future. Therefore, when loading certain data, the cache also loads nearby data to improve the hit rate.</li> <li>Temporal Locality: If data is accessed, it's likely to be accessed again in the near future.

However, stacks and heaps have their own characteristics, leading to the following differences.</p> <ol> <li>Allocation and release efficiency: The stack is a smaller memory block, allocated automatically by the compiler; the heap memory is relatively larger and can be dynamically allocated in the code, more prone to fragmentation. Therefore, allocation and release operations on the heap are generally slower than on the stack.</li> <li>Size limitation: Stack memory is relatively small, while the heap size is generally limited by available memory. Therefore, the heap is more suitable for storing large arrays.</li> <li>Flexibility: The size of arrays on the stack needs to be determined at compile-time, while the size of arrays on the heap can be dynamically determined at runtime.</li> </ol> <p>Why do arrays require elements of the same type, while linked lists do not emphasize same-type elements?</p> <p>Linked lists consist of nodes connected by references (pointers), and each node can store data of different types, such as int, double, string, object, etc.</p> <p>In contrast, array elements must be of the same type, allowing the calculation of offsets to access the corresponding element positions. For example, an array containing both int and long types, with single elements occupying 4 bytes and 8 bytes respectively, cannot use the following formula to calculate offsets, as the array contains elements of two different lengths.</p> <pre><code># Element memory address = Array memory address + Element length * Element index\n</code></pre> <p>After deleting a node, is it necessary to set <code>P.next</code> to <code>None</code>?</p> <p>Not modifying <code>P.next</code> is also acceptable. From the perspective of the linked list, traversing from the head node to the tail node will no longer encounter <code>P</code>. This means that node <code>P</code> has been effectively removed from the list, and where <code>P</code> points no longer affects the list.</p> <p>From a garbage collection perspective, for languages with automatic garbage collection mechanisms like Java, Python, and Go, whether node <code>P</code> is collected depends on whether there are still references pointing to it, not on the value of <code>P.next</code>. In languages like C and C++, we need to manually free the node's memory.</p> <p>In linked lists, the time complexity for insertion and deletion operations is <code>O(1)</code>. But searching for the element before insertion or deletion takes <code>O(n)</code> time, so why isn't the time complexity <code>O(n)</code>?</p> <p>If an element is searched first and then deleted, the time complexity is indeed <code>O(n)</code>. However, the <code>O(1)</code> advantage of linked lists in insertion and deletion can be realized in other applications. For example, in the implementation of double-ended queues using linked lists, we maintain pointers always pointing to the head and tail nodes, making each insertion and deletion operation <code>O(1)</code>.</p> <p>In the image 'Linked List Definition and Storage Method', do the light blue storage nodes occupy a single memory address, or do they share half with the node value?</p> <p>The diagram is just a qualitative representation; quantitative analysis depends on specific situations.</p> <ul> <li>Different types of node values occupy different amounts of space, such as int, long, double, and object instances.</li> <li>The memory space occupied by pointer variables depends on the operating system and compilation environment used, usually 8 bytes or 4 bytes.</li> </ul> <p>Is adding elements to the end of a list always <code>O(1)</code>?</p> <p>If adding an element exceeds the list length, the list needs to be expanded first. The system will request a new memory block and move all elements of the original list over, in which case the time complexity becomes <code>O(n)</code>.</p> <p>The statement 'The emergence of lists greatly improves the practicality of arrays, but may lead to some memory space wastage' - does this refer to the memory occupied by additional variables like capacity, length, and expansion multiplier?</p> <p>The space wastage here mainly refers to two aspects: on the one hand, lists are set with an initial length, which we may not always need; on the other hand, to prevent frequent expansion, expansion usually multiplies by a coefficient, such as \\(\\times 1.5\\). This results in many empty slots, which we typically cannot fully fill.</p> <p>In Python, after initializing <code>n = [1, 2, 3]</code>, the addresses of these 3 elements are contiguous, but initializing <code>m = [2, 1, 3]</code> shows that each element's <code>id</code> is not consecutive but identical to those in <code>n</code>. If the addresses of these elements are not contiguous, is <code>m</code> still an array?</p> <p>If we replace list elements with linked list nodes <code>n = [n1, n2, n3, n4, n5]</code>, these 5 node objects are also typically dispersed throughout memory. However, given a list index, we can still access the node's memory address in <code>O(1)</code> time, thereby accessing the corresponding node. This is because the array stores references to the nodes, not the nodes themselves.</p> <p>Unlike many languages, in Python, numbers are also wrapped as objects, and lists store references to these numbers, not the numbers themselves. Therefore, we find that the same number in two arrays has the same <code>id</code>, and these numbers' memory addresses need not be contiguous.</p> <p>The <code>std::list</code> in C++ STL has already implemented a doubly linked list, but it seems that some algorithm books don't directly use it. Is there any limitation?</p> <p>On the one hand, we often prefer to use arrays to implement algorithms, only using linked lists when necessary, mainly for two reasons.</p> <ul> <li>Space overhead: Since each element requires two additional pointers (one for the previous element and one for the next), <code>std::list</code> usually occupies more space than <code>std::vector</code>.</li> <li>Cache unfriendly: As the data is not stored continuously, <code>std::list</code> has a lower cache utilization rate. Generally, <code>std::vector</code> performs better.</li> </ul> <p>On the other hand, linked lists are primarily necessary for binary trees and graphs. Stacks and queues are often implemented using the programming language's <code>stack</code> and <code>queue</code> classes, rather than linked lists.</p> <p>Does initializing a list <code>res = [0] * self.size()</code> result in each element of <code>res</code> referencing the same address?</p> <p>No. However, this issue arises with two-dimensional arrays, for example, initializing a two-dimensional list <code>res = [[0] * self.size()]</code> would reference the same list <code>[0]</code> multiple times.</p> <p>In deleting a node, is it necessary to break the reference to its successor node?</p> <p>From the perspective of data structures and algorithms (problem-solving), it's okay not to break the link, as long as the program's logic is correct. From the perspective of standard libraries, breaking the link is safer and more logically clear. If the link is not broken, and the deleted node is not properly recycled, it could affect the recycling of the successor node's memory.</p>"},{"location":"chapter_computational_complexity/","title":"Chapter 2. \u00a0 Complexity Analysis","text":"<p>Abstract</p> <p>Complexity analysis is like a space-time navigator in the vast universe of algorithms.</p> <p>It guides us in exploring deeper within the the dimensions of time and space, seeking more elegant solutions.</p>"},{"location":"chapter_computational_complexity/#chapter-contents","title":"Chapter Contents","text":"<ul> <li>2.1 \u00a0 Algorithm Efficiency Assessment</li> <li>2.2 \u00a0 Iteration and Recursion</li> <li>2.3 \u00a0 Time Complexity</li> <li>2.4 \u00a0 Space Complexity</li> <li>2.5 \u00a0 Summary</li> </ul>"},{"location":"chapter_computational_complexity/iteration_and_recursion/","title":"2.2 \u00a0 Iteration and Recursion","text":"<p>In algorithms, repeatedly performing a task is common and closely related to complexity analysis.

Obviously, the running platform and the types of computational operations are irrelevant to the trend of run time growth. Therefore, in time complexity analysis, we can simply treat the execution time of all computational operations as the same \"unit time,\" simplifying the \"computational operation run time count\" to a \"computational operation count.\" This significantly reduces the complexity of estimation.</li> <li>Time complexity has its limitations. For example, although algorithms <code>A</code> and <code>C</code> have the same time complexity, their actual run times can be quite different. Similarly, even though algorithm <code>B</code> has a higher time complexity than <code>C</code>, it is clearly superior when the input data size \\(n\\) is small. In these cases, it's difficult to judge the efficiency of algorithms based solely on time complexity.

The worst-case time complexity is more practical as it provides a safety value for efficiency, allowing us to confidently use the algorithm.</p> <p>From the above example, it's clear that both the worst-case and best-case time complexities only occur under \"special data distributions,\" which may have a small probability of occurrence and may not accurately reflect the algorithm's run efficiency. In contrast, the average time complexity can reflect the algorithm's efficiency under random input data, denoted by the \\(\\Theta\\) notation.</p> <p>For some algorithms, we can simply estimate the average case under a random data distribution. For example, in the aforementioned example, since the input array is shuffled, the probability of element \\(1\\) appearing at any index is equal. Therefore, the average number of loops for the algorithm is half the length of the array \\(n / 2\\), giving an average time complexity of \\(\\Theta(n / 2) = \\Theta(n)\\).</p> <p>However, calculating the average time complexity for more complex algorithms can be quite difficult, as it's challenging to analyze the overall mathematical expectation under the data distribution. In such cases, we usually use the worst-case time complexity as the standard for judging the efficiency of the algorithm.</p> <p>Why is the \\(\\Theta\\) symbol rarely seen?</p> <p>Possibly because the \\(O\\) notation is more commonly spoken, it is often used to represent the average time complexity. However, strictly speaking, this practice is not accurate.

On one hand, these character sets generally only defined characters for specific languages and could not function properly in multilingual environments. On the other hand, the existence of multiple character set standards for the same language caused garbled text when information was exchanged between computers using different encoding standards.</p> <p>Researchers of that era thought: What if we introduced a comprehensive character set that included all languages and symbols worldwide, wouldn't that solve the problems of cross-language environments and garbled text? Driven by this idea, the extensive character set, Unicode, was born.</p> <p>The Chinese name for \"Unicode\" is \"\u7edf\u4e00\u7801\" (Unified Code), theoretically capable of accommodating over a million characters. It aims to incorporate characters from all over the world into a single set, providing a universal character set for processing and displaying various languages and reducing the issues of garbled text due to different encoding standards.</p> <p>Since its release in 1991, Unicode has continually expanded to include new languages and characters. As of September 2022, Unicode contains 149,186 characters, including characters, symbols, and even emojis from various languages. In the vast Unicode character set, commonly used characters occupy 2 bytes, while some rare characters take up 3 or even 4 bytes.</p> <p>Unicode is a universal character set that assigns a number (called a \"code point\") to each character, but it does not specify how these character code points should be stored in a computer. One might ask: When Unicode code points of varying lengths appear in a text, how does the system parse the characters? For example, given a 2-byte code, how does the system determine if it represents a single 2-byte character or two 1-byte characters?</p> <p>A straightforward solution to this problem is to store all characters as equal-length encodings. As shown in the Figure 3-7 , each character in \"Hello\" occupies 1 byte, while each character in \"\u7b97\u6cd5\" (algorithm) occupies 2 bytes. We could encode all characters in \"Hello \u7b97\u6cd5\" as 2 bytes by padding the higher bits with zeros. This way, the system can parse a character every 2 bytes, recovering the content of the phrase.</p> <p></p> <p> Figure 3-7 \u00a0 Unicode Encoding Example </p> <p>However, as ASCII has shown us, encoding English only requires 1 byte.

ASCII characters need only 1 byte, Latin and Greek letters require 2 bytes, commonly used Chinese characters need 3 bytes, and some other rare characters need 4 bytes.</p> <p>The encoding rules for UTF-8 are not complex and can be divided into two cases:</p> <ul> <li>For 1-byte characters, set the highest bit to \\(0\\), and the remaining 7 bits to the Unicode code point. Notably, ASCII characters occupy the first 128 code points in the Unicode set. This means that UTF-8 encoding is backward compatible with ASCII. This implies that UTF-8 can be used to parse ancient ASCII text.</li> <li>For characters of length \\(n\\) bytes (where \\(n &gt; 1\\)), set the highest \\(n\\) bits of the first byte to \\(1\\), and the \\((n + 1)^{\\text{th}}\\) bit to \\(0\\); starting from the second byte, set the highest 2 bits of each byte to \\(10\\); the rest of the bits are used to fill the Unicode code point.</li> </ul> <p>The Figure 3-8  shows the UTF-8 encoding for \"Hello\u7b97\u6cd5\". It can be observed that since the highest \\(n\\) bits are set to \\(1\\), the system can determine the length of the character as \\(n\\) by counting the number of highest bits set to \\(1\\).</p> <p>But why set the highest 2 bits of the remaining bytes to \\(10\\)? Actually, this \\(10\\) serves as a kind of checksum. If the system starts parsing text from an incorrect byte, the \\(10\\) at the beginning of the byte can help the system quickly detect an anomaly.</p> <p>The reason for using \\(10\\) as a checksum is that, under UTF-8 encoding rules, it's impossible for the highest two bits of a character to be \\(10\\). This can be proven by contradiction: If the highest two bits of a character are \\(10\\), it indicates that the character's length is \\(1\\), corresponding to ASCII. However, the highest bit of an ASCII character should be \\(0\\), contradicting the assumption.</p> <p></p> <p> Figure 3-8 \u00a0 UTF-8 Encoding Example </p> <p>Apart from UTF-8, other common encoding methods include:</p> <ul> <li>UTF-16 Encoding: Uses 2 or 4 bytes to represent a character.

When JavaScript was first introduced by Netscape in 1995, Unicode was still in its early stages, and 16-bit encoding was sufficient to represent all Unicode characters.</li> <li>C# uses UTF-16 encoding, largely because the .NET platform, designed by Microsoft, and many Microsoft technologies, including the Windows operating system, extensively use UTF-16 encoding.</li> </ul> <p>Due to the underestimation of character counts, these languages had to resort to using \"surrogate pairs\" to represent Unicode characters exceeding 16 bits. This approach has its drawbacks: strings containing surrogate pairs may have characters occupying 2 or 4 bytes, losing the advantage of fixed-length encoding, and handling surrogate pairs adds to the complexity and debugging difficulty of programming.</p> <p>Owing to these reasons, some programming languages have adopted different encoding schemes:</p> <ul> <li>Python\u2019s <code>str</code> type uses Unicode encoding with a flexible representation where the storage length of characters depends on the largest Unicode code point in the string.

This phenomenon, somewhat counterintuitive, is rooted in the concepts of sign-magnitude, one's complement, and two's complement encoding.</p> <p>Firstly, it's important to note that numbers are stored in computers using the two's complement form. Before analyzing why this is the case, let's define these three encoding methods:</p> <ul> <li>Sign-magnitude: The highest bit of a binary representation of a number is considered the sign bit, where \\(0\\) represents a positive number and \\(1\\) represents a negative number. The remaining bits represent the value of the number.</li> <li>One's complement: The one's complement of a positive number is the same as its sign-magnitude. For negative numbers, it's obtained by inverting all bits except the sign bit.</li> <li>Two's complement: The two's complement of a positive number is the same as its sign-magnitude. For negative numbers, it's obtained by adding \\(1\\) to their one's complement.</li> </ul> <p>The following diagram illustrates the conversions among sign-magnitude, one's complement, and two's complement:</p> <p></p> <p> Figure 3-4 \u00a0 Conversions between Sign-Magnitude, One's Complement, and Two's Complement </p> <p>Although sign-magnitude is the most intuitive, it has limitations. For one, negative numbers in sign-magnitude cannot be directly used in calculations. For example, in sign-magnitude, calculating \\(1 + (-2)\\) results in \\(-3\\), which is incorrect.</p> \\[ \\begin{aligned} &amp; 1 + (-2) \\newline &amp; \\rightarrow 0000 \\; 0001 + 1000 \\; 0010 \\newline &amp; = 1000 \\; 0011 \\newline &amp; \\rightarrow -3 \\end{aligned} \\] <p>To address this, computers introduced the one's complement. If we convert to one's complement and calculate \\(1 + (-2)\\), then convert the result back to sign-magnitude, we get the correct result of \\(-1\\).</p> \\[ \\begin{aligned} &amp; 1 + (-2) \\newline &amp; \\rightarrow 0000 \\; 0001 \\; \\text{(Sign-magnitude)} + 1000 \\; 0010 \\; \\text{(Sign-magnitude)} \\newline &amp; = 0000 \\; 0001 \\; \\text{(One's complement)} + 1111 \\; 1101 \\; \\text{(One's complement)} \\newline &amp; = 1111 \\; 1110 \\; \\text{(One's complement)} \\newline &amp; = 1000 \\; 0001 \\; \\text{(Sign-magnitude)} \\newline &amp; \\rightarrow -1 \\end{aligned} \\] <p>Additionally, there are two representations of zero in sign-magnitude: \\(+0\\) and \\(-0\\). This means two different binary encodings for zero, which could lead to ambiguity. For example, in conditional checks, not differentiating between positive and negative zero might result in incorrect outcomes. Addressing this ambiguity would require additional checks, potentially reducing computational efficiency.</p> \\[ \\begin{aligned} +0 &amp; \\rightarrow 0000 \\; 0000 \\newline -0 &amp; \\rightarrow 1000 \\; 0000 \\end{aligned} \\] <p>Like sign-magnitude, one's complement also suffers from the positive and negative zero ambiguity. Therefore, computers further introduced the two's complement. Let's observe the conversion process for negative zero in sign-magnitude, one's complement, and two's complement:</p> \\[ \\begin{aligned} -0 \\rightarrow \\; &amp; 1000 \\; 0000 \\; \\text{(Sign-magnitude)} \\newline = \\; &amp; 1111 \\; 1111 \\; \\text{(One's complement)} \\newline = 1 \\; &amp; 0000 \\; 0000 \\; \\text{(Two's complement)} \\newline \\end{aligned} \\] <p>Adding \\(1\\) to the one's complement of negative zero produces a carry, but with <code>byte</code> length being only 8 bits, the carried-over \\(1\\) to the 9<sup>th</sup> bit is discarded. Therefore, the two's complement of negative zero is \\(0000 \\; 0000\\), the same as positive zero, thus resolving the ambiguity.</p> <p>One last puzzle is the \\([-128, 127]\\) range for <code>byte</code>, with an additional negative number, \\(-128\\). We observe that for the interval \\([-127, +127]\\), all integers have corresponding sign-magnitude, one's complement, and two's complement, and these can be converted between each other.</p> <p>However, the two's complement \\(1000 \\; 0000\\) is an exception without a corresponding sign-magnitude. According to the conversion method, its sign-magnitude would be \\(0000 \\; 0000\\), which is a contradiction since this represents zero, and its two's complement should be itself. Computers designate this special two's complement \\(1000 \\; 0000\\) as representing \\(-128\\).

This is because addition is simpler to implement in hardware compared to other operations like multiplication, division, and subtraction, allowing for easier parallelization and faster computation.</p> <p>It's important to note that this doesn't mean computers can only perform addition. By combining addition with basic logical operations, computers can execute a variety of other mathematical operations. For example, the subtraction \\(a - b\\) can be translated into \\(a + (-b)\\); multiplication and division can be translated into multiple additions or subtractions.</p> <p>We can now summarize the reason for using two's complement in computers: with two's complement representation, computers can use the same circuits and operations to handle both positive and negative number addition, eliminating the need for special hardware circuits for subtraction and avoiding the ambiguity of positive and negative zero. This greatly simplifies hardware design and enhances computational efficiency.</p> <p>The design of two's complement is quite ingenious, and due to space constraints, we'll stop here.

Based on the above calculation, the maximum positive number representable by <code>float</code> is approximately \\(2^{254 - 127} \\times (2 - 2^{-23}) \\approx 3.4 \\times 10^{38}\\), and the minimum negative number is obtained by switching the sign bit.</p> <p>However, the trade-off for <code>float</code>'s expanded range is a sacrifice in precision. The integer type <code>int</code> uses all 32 bits to represent the number, with values evenly distributed; but due to the exponent bit, the larger the value of a <code>float</code>, the greater the difference between adjacent numbers.</p> <p>As shown in the Table 3-2 , exponent bits \\(E = 0\\) and \\(E = 255\\) have special meanings, used to represent zero, infinity, \\(\\mathrm{NaN}\\), etc.</p> <p> Table 3-2 \u00a0 Meaning of Exponent Bits </p> Exponent Bit E Fraction Bit \\(\\mathrm{N} = 0\\) Fraction Bit \\(\\mathrm{N} \\ne 0\\) Calculation Formula \\(0\\) \\(\\pm 0\\) Subnormal Numbers \\((-1)^{\\mathrm{S}} \\times 2^{-126} \\times (0.\\mathrm{N})\\) \\(1, 2, \\dots, 254\\) Normal Numbers Normal Numbers \\((-1)^{\\mathrm{S}} \\times 2^{(\\mathrm{E} -127)} \\times (1.\\mathrm{N})\\) \\(255\\) \\(\\pm \\infty\\) \\(\\mathrm{NaN}\\) <p>It's worth noting that subnormal numbers significantly improve the precision of floating-point numbers.

To resolve hash collisions, we may use \"chaining\": each bucket in the array points to a linked list, which, when exceeding a certain threshold, might be transformed into a tree (usually a red-black tree). From a storage perspective, the foundation of a hash table is an array, where each bucket slot might contain a value, a linked list, or a tree. Therefore, hash tables may contain both linear data structures (arrays, linked lists) and non-linear data structures (trees).</p> <p>Is the length of the <code>char</code> type 1 byte?</p> <p>The length of the <code>char</code> type is determined by the encoding method used by the programming language.

Here, I will give a few specific examples to prove this point.</p> <p>Example 1: Looking Up a Dictionary. In an English dictionary, words are listed alphabetically. Suppose we're searching for a word that starts with the letter \\(r\\).
