operation | time cost | space cost |
---|---|---|
Insert | logN+C | 2p+t |
Find (average item) | logN | 0 |
Change/replace item | 2(logN+C) or C | 0 |
Remove first | logN (worst case) | 2p+t (recovered) |
Remove last | logN (worst case) | 2p+t (recovered) |
Remove in middle | logN (worst case) | 2p+t (recovered) |
Container overhead | re-balance may occur at each insert or remove | (3p+i) + N(2p+t) |
Comments | Insertion happens based on sort order. Allocation with each insert Replace for sets requires remove/insert. For maps the value is copied in place. Implemented as balanced (red-black) binary tree. |
