In mathematics, the lexicographic or lexicographical order (also known as lexical order, or dictionary order) is a generalization of the alphabetical order of the dictionaries to sequences of ordered symbols or, more generally, of elements of a totally ordered set . There are several variants and generalizations of the lexicographical ordering.
Radix sort is an algorithm that sorts numbers by processing individual digits. n numbers consisting of k digits each are sorted in O(n · k) time. Radix sort can process digits of each number either starting from the least significant digit (LSD) or starting from the most significant digit (MSD). The LSD algorithm first sorts the list by the ...
Timsort is a hybrid, stable sorting algorithm, derived from merge sort and insertion sort, designed to perform well on many kinds of real-world data. It was implemented by Tim Peters in 2002 for use in the Python programming language. The algorithm finds subsequences of the data that are already ordered (runs) and uses them to sort the ...
Python syntax and semantics. A snippet of Python code with keywords highlighted in bold yellow font. The syntax of the Python programming language is the set of rules that defines how a Python program will be written and interpreted (by both the runtime system and by human readers). The Python language has many similarities to Perl, C, and Java ...
Natural sort order. In computing, natural sort order (or natural sorting) is the ordering of strings in alphabetical order, except that multi-digit numbers are treated atomically, i.e., as if they were a single character. Natural sort order has been promoted as being more human-friendly ("natural") than machine-oriented, pure alphabetical sort ...
In computer science, a binary search tree ( BST ), also called an ordered or sorted binary tree, is a rooted binary tree data structure with the key of each internal node being greater than all the keys in the respective node's left subtree and less than the ones in its right subtree. The time complexity of operations on the binary search tree ...
Best-first search is a class of search algorithms, which explores a graph by expanding the most promising node chosen according to a specified rule.. Judea Pearl described the best-first search as estimating the promise of node n by a "heuristic evaluation function () which, in general, may depend on the description of n, the description of the goal, the information gathered by the search up ...
Best-Fit (BF), too, keeps all bins open, but attempts to place each new item into the bin with the maximum load in which it fits. Its approximation ratio is identical to that of FF, that is: B F ( L ) ≤ ⌊ 1.7 O P T ⌋ {\displaystyle BF(L)\leq \lfloor 1.7\mathrm {OPT} \rfloor } , and there is a family of input lists L for which B F ( L ...
