Data Structure Selector Skill

Purpose

Select the optimal data structure based on required operations, their frequencies, and time/space constraints.

Capabilities

  • Analyze required operations (insert, delete, query, update)
  • Match to optimal data structure
  • Consider time/space trade-offs
  • Suggest augmentations for custom requirements
  • Compare alternatives with complexity analysis

Target Processes

  • data-structure-implementation
  • algorithm-implementation
  • complexity-optimization

Selection Framework

Operation Analysis

  1. What operations are needed?
  2. What are the frequency/priority of each operation?
  3. What are the constraints (N, Q, time limit)?
  4. Is persistence needed?
  5. Are range operations required?

Common Selection Patterns

Operations Best Choice
Insert, Delete, Search BST / Hash Map
Range sum, Point update Fenwick Tree
Range query, Range update Segment Tree + Lazy
Union, Find DSU
Min/Max with add/remove Multiset / Heap
Predecessor/Successor Ordered Set / BST
