The stack is a very common data structure, especially in computer systems programming. Stacks are used for arithmetic expression evaluation and for balancing symbols, among its many applications. A queue is a list where items are added at the rear of the list and removed from[r]
I assume you are a computer programmer. Perhaps you are a new student of computer science or maybe you are an experienced software engineer. Regardless of where you are on that spectrum, algorithms and data structures matter. Not just as theoretical concepts, but as building blocks used to create so[r]
Using Code Examples Supplemental material (code examples, exercises, etc.) is available for download at https://github.com/oreillymedia/data_structures_and_algorithms_using_javascript. This book is here to help you get your job done. In general, if example code is o[r]

Chapter 9, "Red-Black Trees," explains red-black trees, one of the most efficient balanced trees. The Workshop applet demonstrates the rotations and color switches necessary to balance the tree. In Chapter 10, "2-3-4 Trees and External Storage," we cover 2-3-4 tree[r]
Fig. 2.3. Repeated selection among two keys The second step now consists of descending down along the path marked by the least key and eliminating it by successively replacing it by either an empty hole at the bottom, or by the item at the alternative branch at intermediate nodes (see[r]
The Carpet class is used for two reasons—to encapsulate the data about each type of carpeting and to implement the IComparable interface, so we can sort the carpet types by their unit cost. The Knapsack class does most of the work in this implementation. It pro- vides a list to store[r]

9.3.1 List-Based Dictionaries and Audit Trails A simple way of realizing a dictionary uses an unordered list to store the key-value entries. Such an implementation is often called a log file or audit trail. The primary applications of audit trails are situations where we wish to archive[r]
The program works by first reading in a set of terms and definitions from a text file. This process is coded in the BuildGlossary subroutine. The text file is structured as word,definition , with the comma being the delimiter between a word and the definition. Each word in this glossar[r]
where the ordered pair, ( x , y ), indicates to take a disk from peg x and place it on peg y . Figure 2.1 Tower of Hanoi Problem The problem admits a nice recursive solution. The problem is solved in terms of n by noting that to move n discs from A to C one can move[r]
Similarly However, it is useful to know the representation in terms of the weighted bits. For instance, -5, can be generated from the representation of -1 by eliminating the contribution of 4 in -1: Similarly, -21, can be realized from -5 by eliminating the positive contributio[r]
can be solved by assuming a solution of the form R ( n ) = λ n . This yields If the equation has two distinct roots, λ 1 ,λ 2 , then the solution is of the form where the constants, C 1 , C 2 , are chosen to enforce Eq. 2.19. If the roots, however, are not distin[r]
