一、内置数据结构的性能
List
Python 内置的 List 类型针对不同操作的性能如下:
Operation | Big-O |
---|---|
index | O(1) |
index 赋值 | O(1) |
append | O(1) |
pop() | O(1) |
pop(i) | O(n) |
insert(i, item) | O(n) |
del | O(n) |
iteration | O(n) |
contains (in) | O(n) |
slice [x:y] | O(k) |
del slice | O(n) |
set slice | O(n+k) |
reverse | O(n) |
concatenate | O(k) |
sort | O(n log n) |
multiply | O(nk) |

Ydict.append(dict_time)
plt.scatter(X, Ylist, c='m', marker='^', label='list')
plt.scatter(X, Ydict, c='y', label='dict')
plt.legend()
plt.show()
二、Stack
LIFO(last-in first-out),从顶部添加新项目,移除项目也从顶部开始。即越是最新添加到栈中的项目越是接近栈的顶部位置,同时也最先出栈。
类似于在厨房里刷盘子,洗好的盘子摞在顶部,使用时也最先拿顶部(最近洗好)的干净盘子。1

class Stack:
def __init__(self):
self.items = []
def is_empty(self):
return self.items == []
def push(self, item):
self.items.append(item)
def pop(self):
return self.items.pop()
def peek(self):
return self.items[len(self.items) - 1]
def size(self):
return len(self.items)
if __name__ == '__main__':
s = Stack()
print(s.is_empty()) # True
s.push(4)
s.push('dog')
print(s.peek()) # dog
s.push(True)
print(s.size()) # 3
s.push(8.4)
print(s.pop()) # 8.4
print(s.pop()) # True
print(s.size()) # 2

20from stack import Stack
def base_converter(dec_number, base):
digits = "0123456789ABCDEF"
rem_stack = Stack()
while dec_number > 0:
rem = dec_number % base
rem_stack.push(rem)
dec_number = dec_number // base
new_string = ""
while not rem_stack.is_empty():
new_string = new_string + digits[rem_stack.pop()]
return new_string
print(base_converter(28, 2)) # 11100
print(base_converter(28, 16)) # 1C
短除法每次循环生成的余数从后往前拼接得到最终的目标进制数字。即最先生成的余数为目标进制数字的最后一位,最后生成的余数为目标进制数字的第一位,后进先出。
括号匹配
1 | from stack import Stack |
遇到左半边括号(([{
)就 push
到 Stack 中,遇到右半边括号()]}
)就从 Stack 中 pop
出一个左半边括号进行配对。
最先遇到的右半边括号肯定需要与最后放入 Stack 中的左半边括号匹配(因此使用 Stack 的 pop
取数据)。最终 Stack 为空,则括号全部匹配。
三、Queues & Deques
FIFO(first-in first-out),从队列一端(rear)添加新项目,从另一端(front)弹出项目。
类似于生活中的排队点餐,新来的顾客排到队伍最后面,队伍最前面的人优先点餐和付款然后离开队伍。deque
为双向队列。1

class Queue:
def __init__(self):

def is_empty(self):
return self.items == []
def enqueue(self, item):
self.items.insert(0, item)
def dequeue(self):
return self.items.pop()
def size(self):
return len(self.items)
class Deque:
def __init__(self):
self.items = []
def is_empty(self):
return self.items == []
def add_front(self, item):
self.items.append(item)
def add_rear(self, item):
self.items.insert(0, item)
def remove_front(self):
return self.items.pop()
def remove_rear(self):
return self.items.pop(0)
def size(self):
return len(self.items)
Palindrome Checker
Palindrome 是指左右对称的单词,如 radar
、toot
、madam
等。
双向队列 Deque 从队列两端弹出数据,可用于检测目标单词首尾两端的字符是否一一对应,即是否对称。1

for ch in a_string:
char_deque.add_rear(ch)
still_equal = True
while char_deque.size() > 1 and still_equal:
first = char_deque.remove_front()
last = char_deque.remove_rear()
if first != last:
still_equal = False
return still_equal
print(pal_checker("lsdkjfskf")) #False
print(pal_checker("radar")) # True
四、Sort
Bubble Sort
1 | def bubble_sort(a_list): |
Bubble Sort 会依次比较序列中相邻两个数字的大小关系,必要时交换位置,保证较大的数字排在另一个数字右侧。整个序列执行完一轮完整的两两对比之后,可以保证最大的数字位于序列的最右侧。
下一轮则可以将第二大的数字交换到序列中倒数第二的位置,依次类推。
Bubble Sort 通常认为是最低效的排序算法。复杂度为 O(n^2)
。
Selection Sort
1 | def selection_sort(a_list): |
Selection Sort 会在第一轮对所有数字的比较中,记录最大数字的位置,令其与序列中最后位置的数字互换。然后在第二轮比较中找出第二大的数字,与序列中倒数第二位置上的数字互换,依次类推。复杂度为 O(n^2)
。
相对于 Bubble Sort,Selection Sort 减少了数字位置的交换次数,一轮只需要一次交换。
Insertion Sort
1 | def insertion_sort(a_list): |
Insertion Sort 可以理解为在当前序列头部维护着一个长度不断增长的排序好的子序列,每从序列后半段取出一个数字,就根据其与头部序列中数字的大小关系,插入到头部序列的适当位置。
复杂度依旧为 O(n^2)
。但通常情况下,shift
操作的性能一般要优于 exchange
操作。
Shell Sort
Shell Sort 会从原来的待排序列表中以一定的间隔选取数字组成一系列小的子列表,再依次通过 Insertion Sort 方法进行排序。复杂度大概介于 O(n)
和 O(n^2)
之间。1

sublist_count = len(a_list) // 2
while sublist_count > 0:
for start_position in range(sublist_count):
gap_insertion_sort(a_list, start_position, sublist_count)
print("After increments of size", sublist_count, "The list is", a_list)
sublist_count = sublist_count // 2
def gap_insertion_sort(a_list, start, gap):
for i in range(start + gap, len(a_list), gap):
current_value = a_list[i]
position = i
while position >= gap and a_list[position - gap] > current_value:
a_list[position] = a_list[position - gap]
position = position - gap
a_list[position] = current_value
a_list = [54, 26, 93, 17, 77, 31, 44, 55, 20]
shell_sort(a_list)
print(a_list)
# => After increments of size 4 The list is [20, 26, 44, 17, 54, 31, 93, 55, 77]
# => After increments of size 2 The list is [20, 17, 44, 26, 54, 31, 77, 55, 93]
# => After increments of size 1 The list is [17, 20, 26, 31, 44, 54, 55, 77, 93]
# => [17, 20, 26, 31, 44, 54, 55, 77, 93]
Merge Sort
Merge Sort 是将原待排序列表递归地一分为二直到成为最小单位,然后在两两合并的过程中进行大小排序。合并操作完成后得到完整的排序好的列表。
Merge Sort 和后面的 Quick Sort 复杂度都为 O(n log n)
。Merge Sort 在融合过程中需要使用额外的存储空间,而 Quick Sort 的复杂度有可能提高到 O(n^2)
(当分割点不是接近列表的中间位置)。1
