一、数组和链表优缺点

1.1、数组(Array)

1.1.1 数组的优点

线性表的一种。高级数据语言中,对数组内部的元素类型没有严格的要求,这在语言中称为泛型,可以放入任何单元类型。数组的底层的硬件实现,存在一个内存管理器,每当申请一个数组的时候,计算机会在内存中开辟一段连续的地址,每一个地址可以通过内存管理器进行访问,数组访问第一个元素和其他任何一个元素的时间复杂度是相同的,都是O(1),即常数级别。由于数组可以随机访问任何一个元素,所以它的时间效率快,这是数组的优势之一。

1.1.2 数组的缺点

数组的问题出现于它增加、删除某些元素的时候。

比如现在有个数组,要在中间插入一个元素F,那么元素C、D、E就要相应的向后移动一个位置,这样一来数组插入操作的时间复杂度趋于O(1)-O(n)之间。

数组删除也是同理。

所以在增加、删除操作比较频繁的情况下,数组的缺点就会显露出来。

下面是数组中各个操作对应的时间复杂度:

| 操作 | 最大时间复杂度 |

|------|------------|

| search | O(1) |

| insert | O(n) |

| remove/delete | O(n) |

| append | O(1) |

| prepend | O(1) |

1.2、链表(LinkedList)

1.2.1 、链表的优点

相比于数组,链表在增加节点和删除节点时候,并不会引起其他节点的群移,这样的话增加、删除操作的时间复杂度为O(1),下面是单链表插入某个节点的示意图,我们可以看到只需要更改当前节点和前置节点和的next指针,即可完成节点的插入操作。

1.2.2 、链表的缺点

与数组相比,在链表中访问任一元素的位置,就没那么容易了,需要从链表的head开始,一步步的向后查询,这种情况下时间复杂度为O(1)-O(n)之间。

下面是链表中各个操作对应的时间复杂度:

| 操作 | 最大时间复杂度 |

|------|------------|

| search | O(n) |

| insert | O(1) |

| remove/delete | O(1) |

| append | O(1) |

| prepend | O(1) |

1.2.3 、跳表

由于链表的search操作时间复杂度为O(n),为了弥补链表的缺陷,我们可以思考给链表增加多个指针去作为起始指针,这样的话search某个节点就会更有效率,从而减少search的时间复杂度。

由此引出了跳表的思想,而多个起始指针则晋升为索引的概念,通过增加维度,以空间换时间来进行时间度优化,跳表中search的时间复杂度为O(logn)

下面是跳表中一级索引的示意图:

二、使用JS实现链表

理解了链表的几种通用形态,我们可以用js一步步实现链表这个数据结构。

2.1、单链表

实现单链表的原理在于,要不断更新节点的next指针,使整个链表串联起来。


class Node {

  constructor (element) {

    this.element = element

    this.next = null

  }

}

class LinkedList {

  constructor () {

    // 初始化链表长度

    this.length = 0

    // 初始化链表第一个节点

    this.head = null

  }

  append (element) {

    let node = new Node(element)

    let current

    // 链表为空情况

    if (this.head === null) {

      this.head = node

    } else {

      current = this.head

      while (current.next) {

        current = current.next

      }

      current.next = node

    }

    this.length ++

  }

  insert (element, point) {

    if (point >=0 && point <= this.length) {

      let node = new Node(element)

      let current = this.head

      let previous

      let index = 0

      if (point === 0) {

        node.next = current

        this.head = node

      } else {

        while (index++ < point) {

          previous = current

          current = current.next

        }

        previous.next = node

        node.next = current

      }

      this.length++

      return true

    } else {

      return false

    }

  }

  removeAt (point) {

    if (point > -1 && point < this.length) {

      let current = this.head

      let index = 0

      let previous

      if (point === 0) {

        this.head = current.next

      } else {

        while (index++ < point) {

          previous = current

          current = current.next

        }

        previous.next = current.next

      }

      this.length--

      return current.element

    } else {

      return null

    }

  }

  remove (element) {

    let index = this.find(element)

    // 删除后返回已删除的节点

    return this.removeAt(index)

  }

  find (element) {

    let current = this.head

    let index = 0

    if (element == current.element){

        return 0;

    }

    while (current.next) {

      if(current.element === element) {

        return index

      }

      index++

      current = current.next

    }

    if (element == current.element){

        return index;

    }

    return -1

  }

  isEmpty () {

    return this.length === 0

  }

  size () {

    return this.length

  }

  print () {

    let current = this.head

    let result = ''

    while (current) {

      result += current.element + (current.next ? '->' : '')

      current = current.next

    }

    return result

  }

}

let l1 = new LinkedList()

...

2.2、双向链表

实现双向链表的原理在于,每次更新链表要同时考虑到nextprev两个指针,并保证更新指针的指向。


class Node {

  constructor (element) {

    this.element = element

    this.next = null

    this.prev = null

  }

}

class DoubleLinkedList {

  constructor () {

    this.length = 0

    this.head = null

    // 定义尾部节点

    this.tail = null

  }

  append (element) {

    let node = new Node(element)

    let tail = this.tail

    if (this.head === null) {

      this.head = node

      this.tail = node

    } else {

      tail.next = node

      node.prev = tail

      this.tail = node

    }

    this.length++

  }

  insert (element, point) {

    if(point >= 0 && point <= this.length) {

      let node = new Node(element)

      let current = this.head

      let tail = this.tail

      let index = 0

      let previous

      if (point === 0) {

        if (!this.head) {

          this.head = node

          this.tail = node

        } else {

          node.next = current

          current.prev = node

          this.head = node

        }

      } else if (point === this.length) {

        current = tail

        current.next = node

        node.prev = current

        this.tail = node

      } else {

        while (index++ < point) {

          previous = current

          current = current.next

        }

        // 将原来的链表断开,重新使用指针串接起来

        node.next = current

        node.prev = previous

        previous.next = node

        current.prev = node

      }

      this.length++

      return true

    } else {

      return false

    }

  }

  removeAt (point) {

    if (point > -1 && point < this.length) {

      let current = this.head

      let index = 0

      let previous

      let tail = this.tail

      if (point === 0) {

        // remove第一项的情况

        this.head = current.next

        if (this.length === 1) {

          this.tail = null

        } else {

          this.head.prev = null

        }

      } else if (point === this.length -1) {

        current = tail

        this.tail = current.prev

        this.tail.next = null

      } else {

        while (index++ < point) {

          previous = current

          current = current.next

        }

        previous.next = current.next

        current.next.prev = previous

      }

      this.length--

      return current.element

    } else {

      return null

    }

  }

  find (element) {

    let current = this.head

    let index = 0

    if (element == current.element){

        return 0;

    }

    while (current.next) {

      if(current.element === element) {

        return index

      }

      index++

      current = current.next

    }

    // 为了保证最后一位被找到

    if (element == current.element){

        return index;

    }

    return -1

  }

  remove (element) {

    let index = this.find(element)

    return this.removeAt(index)

  }

  isEmpty () {

    return this.length === 0

  }

  size () {

    return this.length

  }

  print () {

    let current = this.head

    let result = ''

    while (current) {

      result += current.element + (current.next ? '->' : '')

      current = current.next

    }

    return result

  }

}

let l1 = new DoubleLinkedList()

2.3、单向循环链表

单向循环链表和单链表大致相同,唯一区别是,尾节点tailnext指针要指向head,使链表的头尾串联在一起,形成循环。


class Node {

  constructor (element) {

    this.element = element

    this.next = null

  }

}

class CircleLinkedList {

  constructor () {

    // 初始化链表长度

    this.length = 0

    // 初始化链表第一个节点

    this.head = null

  }

  append (element) {

    let node = new Node(element)

    let head = this.head

    let current

    // 链表为空情况

    if (this.head === null) {

      this.head = node

    } else {

      current = this.head

      while (current.next && current.next !== head) {

        current = current.next

      }

      current.next = node

    }

    // 保持首尾相连

    node.next = head

    this.length ++

  }

  insert (element, point) {

    if (point >=0 && point <= this.length) {

      let node = new Node(element)

      let current = this.head

      let previous

      let index = 0

      if (point === 0) {

        node.next = current

        while (current.next && current.next !== this.head) {

          current = current.next

        }

        this.head = node

        current.next = this.head

      } else {

        while (index++ < point) {

          previous = current

          current = current.next

        }

        previous.next = node

        // 首尾相连

        node.next = current === null ? head : current

      }

      this.length++

      return true

    } else {

      return false

    }

  }

  removeAt (point) {

    if (point > -1 && point < this.length) {

      let current = this.head

      let index = 0

      let previous

      if (point === 0) {

        this.head = current.next

        while (current.next && current.next !== this.head) {

          current = current.next

        }

        current.next = this.head

      } else {

        while (index++ < point) {

          previous = current

          current = current.next

        }

        previous.next = current.next

      }

      this.length--

      return current.element

    } else {

      return null

    }

  }

  remove (element) {

    let index = this.find(element)

    // 删除后返回已删除的节点

    return this.removeAt(index)

  }

  find (element) {

    let current = this.head

    let index = 0

    if (element == current.element){

        return 0;

    }

    while (current.next && current.next !== this.head) {

      if(current.element === element) {

        return index

      }

      index++

      current = current.next

    }

    if (element == current.element){

        return index;

    }

    return -1

  }

  isEmpty () {

    return this.length === 0

  }

  size () {

    return this.length

  }

  print () {

    let current = this.head

    let result = ''

    while (current.next && current.next !== this.head) {

      result += current.element + (current.next ? '->' : '')

      current = current.next

    }

    result += current.element

    return result

  }

}

let l1 = new CircleLinkedList()

2.4、双向循环链表

双向循环链表和单向循环原理上大概一致,区别在于,双向循环链表同时拥有2个指针prevnext,并在headtail两个临界点进行指针更新处理,并保持链表的首尾相连。
