## Containers

All data structures implement the container interface with the following methods:

```go
type Container interface {
	Empty() bool
	Size() int
	Clear()
	Values() []interface{}
}
```

Containers are either ordered or unordered. All ordered containers provide [stateful iterators](#iterator) and some of them allow [enumerable functions](#enumerable).

| Container | Ordered | [Iterator](#iterator) | [Enumerable](#enumerable) | Referenced by |
| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| [ArrayList](#arraylist) | yes | yes* | yes | index |
| [SinglyLinkedList](#singlylinkedlist) | yes | yes | yes | index |
| [DoublyLinkedList](#doublylinkedlist) | yes | yes* | yes | index |
| [HashSet](#hashset) | no | no | no | index |
| [TreeSet](#treeset) | yes | yes* | yes | index |
| [LinkedListStack](#linkedliststack) | yes | yes | no | index |
| [ArrayStack](#arraystack) | yes | yes* | no | index |
| [HashMap](#hashmap) | no | no | no | key |
| [TreeMap](#treemap) | yes | yes* | yes | key |
| [HashBidiMap](#hashbidimap) | no | no | no | key* |
| [RedBlackTree](#redblacktree) | yes | yes* | no | key |
| [BinaryHeap](#binaryheap) | yes | yes* | no | index |

}
```

#### DoublyLinkedList

A [list](#lists) where each element points to the next and previous elements in the list.

    list.Insert(0, "a")                   // ["a","b"]
}
```

### Sets

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 structed is often used to ensure that no duplicates are present in a container.

Implements [Container](#containers) interface.

```go
type Set interface {
    Add(elements ...interface{})
	Remove(elements ...interface{})
	Contains(elements ...interface{}) bool

	containers.Container
	// Empty() bool
	// Size() int
	// Clear()
	// Values() []interface{}
}
```

#### HashSet

A [set](#sets) backed by a hash table (actually a Go's map). It makes no guarantees as to the iteration order of the set.

Implements [Set](#sets) interface.

```go
package main

import "github.com/emirpasic/gods/sets/hashset"

func main() {
	set := hashset.New()   // empty
	set.Add(1)             // 1
	set.Add(2, 2, 3, 4, 5) // 3, 1, 2, 4, 5 (random order, duplicates ignored)
	set.Remove(4)          // 5, 3, 2, 1 (random order)
	set.Remove(2, 3)       // 1, 5 (random order)
	set.Contains(1)        // true
	set.Contains(1, 5)     // true
	set.Contains(1, 6)     // false
	_ = set.Values()       // []int{5,1} (random order)
	set.Clear()            // empty
	set.Empty()            // true
	set.Size()             // 0
}
```

#### TreeSet

A [set](#sets) backed by a [red-black tree](#redblacktree) to keep the elements ordered with respect to the [comparator](#comparator).

```go
package main

import "github.com/emirpasic/gods/sets/treeset"

func main() {
	set := treeset.NewWithIntComparator() // empty (keys are of type int)
	set.Add(1)                            // 1
	set.Add(2, 2, 3, 4, 5)                // 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (in order, duplicates ignored)
	set.Remove(4)                         // 1, 2, 3, 5 (in order)
	set.Remove(2, 3)                      // 1, 5 (in order)
	set.Contains(1)                       // true
	set.Contains(1, 5)                    // true
	set.Contains(1, 6)                    // false
	_ = set.Values()                      // []int{1,5} (in order)
	set.Clear()                           // empty
	set.Empty()                           // true
	set.Size()                            // 0
}
```

### Stacks

A stack that represents a last-in-first-out (LIFO) data structure. The usual push and pop operations are provided, as well as a method to peek at the top item on the stack.

Implements [Container](#containers) interface.

```go
type Stack interface {
	Push(value interface{})
	Pop() (value interface{}, ok bool)
	Peek() (value interface{}, ok bool)

	containers.Container
	// Empty() bool
	// Size() int
	// Clear()
	// Values() []interface{}
}
```

#### LinkedListStack

A [stack](#stacks) based on a [linked list](#singlylinkedlist).

Implements [Stack](#stacks) and [IteratorWithIndex](#iteratorwithindex) interfaces.

```go
package main

import lls "github.com/emirpasic/gods/stacks/linkedliststack"

func main() {
	stack := lls.New()  // empty
	stack.Push(1)       // 1
	stack.Push(2)       // 1, 2
	stack.Values()      // 2, 1 (LIFO order)
	_, _ = stack.Peek() // 2,true
	_, _ = stack.Pop()  // 2, true
	_, _ = stack.Pop()  // 1, true
	_, _ = stack.Pop()  // nil, false (nothing to pop)
	stack.Push(1)       // 1
	stack.Clear()       // empty
	stack.Empty()       // true
	stack.Size()        // 0
}
```

#### ArrayStack

A [stack](#stacks) based on a [array list](#arraylist).

Implements [Stack](#stacks) and [IteratorWithIndex](#iteratorwithindex) interfaces.

```go
package main

import "github.com/emirpasic/gods/stacks/arraystack"

func main() {
	stack := arraystack.New() // empty
	stack.Push(1)             // 1
	stack.Push(2)             // 1, 2
	stack.Values()            // 2, 1 (LIFO order)
	_, _ = stack.Peek()       // 2,true
	_, _ = stack.Pop()        // 2, true
	_, _ = stack.Pop()        // 1, true
	_, _ = stack.Pop()        // nil, false (nothing to pop)
	stack.Push(1)             // 1
	stack.Clear()             // empty
	stack.Empty()             // true
	stack.Size()              // 0
}
```

### Maps

A Map is a data structure that maps keys to values. A map cannot contain duplicate keys and each key can map to at most one value.

Implements [Container](#containers) interface.

```go
type Map interface {
    Put(key interface{}, value interface{})
	Get(key interface{}) (value interface{}, found bool)
	Remove(key interface{})
	Keys() []interface{}

	containers.Container
	// Empty() bool
	// Size() int
	// Clear()
	// Values() []interface{}
}
```

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.

```go
type BidiMap interface {
	GetKey(value interface{}) (key interface{}, found bool)

	Map
}
```

#### HashMap

A [map](#maps) based on hash tables. Keys are unordered.

```go
package main

import "github.com/emirpasic/gods/maps/hashmap"

func main() {
	m := hashmap.New() // empty
	m.Put(1, "x")      // 1->x
	m.Put(2, "b")      // 2->b, 1->x (random order)
	m.Put(1, "a")      // 2->b, 1->a (random order)
	_, _ = m.Get(2)    // b, true
	_, _ = m.Get(3)    // nil, false
	_ = m.Values()     // []interface {}{"b", "a"} (random order)
	_ = m.Keys()       // []interface {}{1, 2} (random order)
	m.Remove(1)        // 2->b
	m.Clear()          // empty
	m.Empty()          // true
	m.Size()           // 0
}
```

#### TreeMap

A [map](#maps) based on [red-black tree](#redblacktree). Keys are ordered  ordered with respect to the [comparator](#comparator).

Implements [Map](#maps), [IteratorWithKey](#iteratorwithkey) and [EnumerableWithKey](#enumerablewithkey) interfaces.

```go
package main

import "github.com/emirpasic/gods/maps/treemap"

func main() {
	m := treemap.NewWithIntComparator() // empty (keys are of type int)
	m.Put(1, "x")                       // 1->x
	m.Put(2, "b")                       // 1->x, 2->b (in order)
	m.Put(1, "a")                       // 1->a, 2->b (in order)
	_, _ = m.Get(2)                     // b, true
	_, _ = m.Get(3)                     // nil, false
	_ = m.Values()                      // []interface {}{"a", "b"} (in order)
	_ = m.Keys()                        // []interface {}{1, 2} (in order)
	m.Remove(1)                         // 2->b
	m.Clear()                           // empty
	m.Empty()                           // true
	m.Size()                            // 0

    // Other:
    m.Min() // Returns the minimum key and its value from map.
    m.Max() // Returns the maximum key and its value from map.
}
```

#### HashBidiMap

A [map](#maps) based on two hashmaps. Keys are unordered.

Implements [BidiMap](#maps) interface.

```go
package main

import "github.com/emirpasic/gods/maps/hashbidimap"

func main() {
	m := hashbidimap.New() // empty
	m.Put(1, "x")          // 1->x
	m.Put(3, "b")          // 1->x, 3->b (random order)
	m.Put(1, "a")          // 1->a, 3->b (random order)
	m.Put(2, "b")          // 1->a, 2->b (random order)
	_, _ = m.GetKey("a")   // 1, true
	_, _ = m.Get(2)        // b, true
	_, _ = m.Get(3)        // nil, false
	_ = m.Values()         // []interface {}{"a", "b"} (random order)
	_ = m.Keys()           // []interface {}{1, 2} (random order)
	m.Remove(1)            // 2->b
	m.Clear()              // empty
	m.Empty()              // true
	m.Size()               // 0
}
```

### Trees

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.

Implements [Container](#containers) interface.

```go
type Tree interface {
	containers.Container
	// Empty() bool
	// Size() int
	// Clear()
	// Values() []interface{}
}
```

#### RedBlackTree

A red–black [tree](#trees) 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. <small>[Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red%E2%80%93black_tree)</small>

Implements [Tree](#trees) and [IteratorWithKey](#iteratorwithkey) interfaces.

	tree.Empty() // true
	tree.Size()  // 0

    // Other:
    tree.Left() // gets the left-most (min) node
    tree.Right() // get the right-most (max) node
    tree.Floor(1) // get the floor node
    tree.Ceiling(1) // get the ceiling node
}
```

Extending the red-black tree's functionality  has been demonstrated in the following [example](https://github.com/emirpasic/gods/blob/master/examples/redblacktreeextended.go).

#### BinaryHeap

A binary heap is a [tree](#trees) 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. <small>[Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_heap)</small>

Implements [Tree](#trees) and [IteratorWithIndex](#iteratorwithindex) interfaces.

## Functions

Various helper functions used throughout the library.

### Comparator

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):

```go
negative , if a < b
zero     , if a == b
positive , if a > b
```

Comparator signature:

```go
type Comparator func(a, b interface{}) int
```

Two common comparators are included in the library:

```go
func IntComparator(a, b interface{}) int
```

```go
func StringComparator(a, b interface{}) int
```

Writing custom comparators is easy:

```go
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}
}
```

### Iterator

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.

#### IteratorWithIndex

An [iterator](#iterator) whose elements are referenced by an index.

Typical usage:
```go
it := list.Iterator()
for it.Next() {
	index, value := it.Index(), it.Value()
    ...
}
```

Other usages:
```go
if it.First() {
	firstIndex, firstValue := it.Index(), it.Value()
	...
}
```

```go
for it.Begin(); it.Next(); {
	...
}
```

#### IteratorWithKey

An [iterator](#iterator) whose elements are referenced by a key.

Typical usage:
```go
it := tree.Iterator()
for it.Next() {
	key, value := it.Key(), it.Value()
    ...
}
```

Other usages:
```go
if it.First() {
	firstKey, firstValue := it.Key(), it.Value()
	...
}
```

```go
for it.Begin(); it.Next(); {
	...
}
```

#### ReverseIteratorWithIndex

An [iterator](#iterator) whose elements are referenced by an index. Provides all functions as [IteratorWithIndex](#iteratorwithindex), but can also be used for reverse iteration.

Typical usage of iteration in reverse:
```go
it := list.Iterator()
for it.End(); it.Prev(); {
	index, value := it.Index(), it.Value()
    ...
}
```

Other usages:
```go
if it.Last() {
	lastIndex, lastValue := it.Index(), it.Value()
	...
}
```

#### ReverseIteratorWithKey

An [iterator](#iterator) whose elements are referenced by a key. Provides all functions as [IteratorWithKey](#iteratorwithkey), but can also be used for reverse iteration.

Typical usage of iteration in reverse:
```go
it := tree.Iterator()
for it.End(); it.Prev(); {
	key, value := it.Key(), it.Value()
    ...
}
```

Other usages:
```go
if it.Last() {
	lastKey, lastValue := it.Key(), it.Value()
	...
}
```

	})
	printMap("Chaining", evenNumbersSquared) // { b:4 d:16 f:36 }
}
```

### Sort

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:

```go
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

Container specific operations:

```go
// Returns sorted container''s elements with respect to the passed comparator.
// Does not effect the ordering of elements within the container.
func GetSortedValues(container Container, comparator utils.Comparator) []interface{}
```

Usage:

```go
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]
}
```

## Appendix

### Motivation

Collections and data structures found in other languages: Java Collections, C++ Standard Template Library (STL) containers, Qt Containers, Ruby Enumerable etc.

### Goals

**Fast algorithms**:

  - Based on decades of knowledge and experiences of other libraries mentioned above.

**Memory efficient algorithms**:

  - Avoiding to consume memory by using optimal algorithms and data structures for the given set of problems, e.g. red-black tree in case of TreeMap to avoid keeping redundant sorted array of keys in memory.

**Easy to use library**:

  - Well-structured library with minimalistic set of atomic operations from which more complex operations can be crafted.

**Stable library**:

  - Only additions are permitted keeping the library backward compatible.

**Solid documentation and examples**:

  - Learning by example.

**Production ready**:

  - Used in production.

**No dependencies**:

  - No external imports.

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.
