digitalmars.D.learn - Equivilent of STL Set in D ? ...

Hello, I am converting some C++ code which happens to use STL Set to D. 
I was thinking of ways to implement set in D, but since I never got much 
into STL set in C++ I want to make sure I am thinking right.

1) Are D's associative arrays equivalent to STL Set? I've read that Set 
is pretty much just a sorted associative array, can this functionality 
be achieved in D (using struct as a key type) by overloading opCmp?

2) I suppose I could implement this as a sorted linked list. As far as I 
can tell set is only being used to hold a collection of elements that 
are sorted in a certain way.

3) Use DTL's implementation of set.

Thanks.

No. D's associative array is implemented as a hash table, which is unordered by nature. If you require the elements to be sorted you'll either have to use a different container or copy the values to an array and sort the array before doing whatever you want to do with the sorted values. The word count example does this, for example.
 2) I suppose I could implement this as a sorted linked list. As far as I 
 can tell set is only being used to hold a collection of elements that 
 are sorted in a certain way.
The C++ set is implemented as a balanced binary tree, and some sort of binary tree is probably your best bet if you want a sorted container with decent lookup performance.
 3) Use DTL's implementation of set.
Definitely an option. Sean

Alright, since Set is a sorted associative container, I mistakenly thought it had something to do with an associative arrays.

Thanks for the info, so all I have to do is create a balanced binary tree with a foreach iterator? :) Seems simple enough. ~ Clay

Looks like you've already done it! It seems a little complex to use, however. It shouldn't be necessary to define new classes/structs in order to use it. I should be able to just: import whatever.redblacktree; RedBlackTree(char[], int) foo; // create a red-black tree with key type of char[] and value type of int. ... foo["hello"] = 3; foo["betty"] = 25; bar(foo["hello"]); // bar(3) foo.remove("betty")); ... foreach (v; foo) writefln("value is %s", v);

That's because it's the intrusive form of a red black tree. Clay had some questions about them I tried to answer: http://www.dsource.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1959
 I should be able to just:
 
 import whatever.redblacktree;
 
 RedBlackTree(char[], int) foo;    // create a red-black tree with key 
:-) I guess you meant RedBlackTree!(char[], int) foo;
 type of char[] and value type of int.
 
 ...
 foo["hello"] = 3;
 foo["betty"] = 25;
 bar(foo["hello"]);    // bar(3)
 foo.remove("betty"));
 ...
 foreach (v; foo)
     writefln("value is %s", v);
Seems to be an interesting task to get used to the new foreach features. I'll give it a try. Klaus

Ok, I rewrote the intrusive version to a nonintrusive one. It has almost the interface you mentioned. Please note: IMHO, there are some points where the template needs some refinement. 1. A third template parameter "bool duplicatesAllowed" should be added and handled in insert/remove via "static if". Then you have multisets at hand ! 2. Sometimes it exposes an interface to the internally used nodes to be able to access the key/value pairs. A special iterator class which could encapsulate the "not found/not inserted" state would be better. 3. The insert via opIndexAssign/find via opIndex is IMHO not optimal because you could not return the "not found/not inserted" state. There are some possibilities to resolve this: a) Throw an exception (IMHO, ugly) b) Return an empty node c) ... any ideas ? Using insert like if (foo.insert("Jill", 13)) looks better to me. Ok, thats it for now. Maybe I find some spare time next week to adress some of the issues. Greets Klaus

Yes, thank you! I'll give it a try when I get the chance. I really didn't want an intrusive tree. Looks like you have an interesting interface too, although why not have an interface like... RedBlackTree!(int) tree; tree.add(4); tree.add(3); tree.add(7); tree.remove(7); int b = tree.find(7); ? Just wondering how you came up with the interface :) ~ Clay

Ok, I rewrote the intrusive version to a nonintrusive one. It has almost the interface you mentioned. Please note: IMHO, there are some points where the template needs some refinement. 1. A third template parameter "bool duplicatesAllowed" should be added and handled in insert/remove via "static if". Then you have multisets at hand ! 2. Sometimes it exposes an interface to the internally used nodes to be able to access the key/value pairs. A special iterator class which could encapsulate the "not found/not inserted" state would be better. 3. The insert via opIndexAssign/find via opIndex is IMHO not optimal because you could not return the "not found/not inserted" state. There are some possibilities to resolve this: a) Throw an exception (IMHO, ugly)
This is a lot better than returning an empty node, though. If you can tell me why it crashed, then do it :)
 
    Using insert like
      if (foo.insert("Jill", 13))
    looks better to me.
You could implement both and let the programmer decide. It also might be neat to implement opIn_r, so you can use... if (!("Jill" in tree)) tree.add("Jill");

No. D's associative array is implemented as a hash table, which is unordered by nature. If you require the elements to be sorted you'll either have to use a different container or copy the values to an array and sort the array before doing whatever you want to do with the sorted values. The word count example does this, for example.
Suppose that I don't need sorting, would an associative array work just as well? I'm looking at the code again and it isn't very clear that sorting is a requirement, just that I need to have fast insert, lookup (and if not in container, add it), and deletion. Then again, if all that was needed was a hashmap, then I wonder why the author didn't use STL map.

iirc stl's map are sorted too, and also use rb-tree usually as implementation. I think a set in STL is a subset of a map. There is no hashmap in standard (98) C++. So for insert, lookup and deletion a set makes sense in STL.

C++'s balanced binary trees are red-black trees. I had just proposed that someone do a red-black tree implementation for D. It's not hard, the algorithms are well known. It just takes a little time to sit down and do it.

Hi algorithm fans, maybe you can help a bit. I own the Algorithms and Data Structures books from Wirth and Sedgewick. (Both antik/antique ... means Pascal, still true! and of course a little bit outdated) If you have a hint what is worth reading now (except C++ books) Thanks in advance. Björn

Personally, I like Sedgewick's "Algorithms in C++" series the best. And the "Algorithms in Java" versions appear similar, so I think they're probably just as good. I find the writing succinct and clear, and performance is discussed thoroughly and supported by actual test numbers. Also, while I don't like the writing style in M.A. Weiss' first edition "Data Structures and Problem Solving with C++" as much as Sedgewick, it does cover some topics that Sedgewick doesn't. Weiss' more recent edition for Java (and I assume C++), however, is about half as thick and its clarity has suffered from all the editing. But it does still cover the same range of topics, so it may be worth a look. Sean

Thanks for your answere Sean, Thinking about your answere and the nature of Java (no pointers) I guess that Sedgewick's "Algorithms in Java" could fullfill my needs because I would like to translate a lot of (pseudo) code like this : nodepointer is POINTER to node; node is record begin d is interger; lnode is nodepointer; rnode is nodepointer; data is Anytype; end into D classes. Maybe you know about the meanwhile dead PM3 Modula 3 efforts ... wish we have such a HUGE lib in D. Hope that comparing pointerless Java examples will help to translate Modula sources into D. Ahem... Björn btw :I wonder wether Sedgewick is still using tons of academic terms (means showing how clever he is) or is he meanwhile able to produce some output a human-beeing can read.

I find Sedgewick to be quite readable, but his material is a bit more technical than some of the other texts. I personally like this because it makes for good reference material, but if I were teaching the subject I might choose a book that doesn't jump into the middle of things quite so quickly. For comparison, my wife took an algorithm analysis course recently that used Weiss' Java book. She found the descriptions in it confusing, but thought my 1st ed. C++ copy of the same book (same topics but much longer) was excellent. So I'd be inclined to recommend Weiss except his recent editions don't seem as clear as his earlier editions, as a result of some heavy editing to reduce page count. I wish I could suggest others, but aside from Knuth those are the only algorithms books I've actually kept. Sean

Thanks for your inside view. What I am able to figure out from your message(s) is that reading Sedgewick still requires time and some++ background knowledge,while Weiss (at least in his most recent book) : Algorithm Analyses is somewhat weak, or let's say the didatic part is weak . Regarding Weiss : I hope we are talking about the same book : I mean Data Structures and Problem Solving and *not* Data Structures and Algorithm Analyses. Anyway, your informations are very usefull for me. Thanks a lot! Regards Björn
