What part of my code is making my performance suffer? (Codility's MaxCounter)
java,algorithm,data-structures,big-o,time-complexity
Instead of calling Arrays.fill(answer, minimumValue); whenever you encounter a "max counter" operation, which takes O(N), you should keep track of the last max value that was assigned due to "max counter" operation, and update the entire array just one time, after all the operations are processed. This would take O(N+M)....

How to properly instantiate a MultiSet (created on my own) using Python

C - Is realloc'ing arrays to arrays twice the size efficient in dynamic data structures?
As with all "most efficient" questions, the only way to know is to measure the actual performance in real-life conditions.

algorithm,data-structures,stack
You popped a total number of 10-3 = 7 elements, since 3 of the pops did not change the state (and size) of the stack, so only 7 pops did. You pushed a total of 25 elements. Top operations do not change the state (and size) of the stack,...
Given a BST, and a node in BST, make that node, as new root of the tree
algorithm,data-structures,tree,binary-search-tree
In the general case, your algorithm needs perform a series of tree manipulations in the form of sub-tree rotation (as described in @Quicky's answer). The algorithm should look like this: While node_to_be_root is not the root of the whole tree: Rotate the sub-tree where the node_to_be_root is the pivot and...
Why this DFS code is not working in some cases?
This should work: public static void PrintDFS(){ int source = 0; int numberOfNodes = arr[source].length; int [] visited = new int[numberOfNodes]; int v; stack.push(source); while (!stack.isEmpty()){ v = stack.pop(); if(visited[v]==0) { visited[v] = 1; System.out.println(v); for(int i=0;i<numberOfNodes;i++){ if(arr[v][i]==1) stack.push(i); } } } } The main issue in the original code...
Efficiently transferring elements between arrays
javascript,arrays,optimization,memory-management,data-structures
splice is pretty harmful for performance in a loop. But you don't seem to need mutations on the input arrays anyway - you are creating new ones and overwrite the previous values. Just do function doTransfers() { var A_pending = []; var B2_pending = []; for (var i = 0;...
Unknown Data Structure?
There is no "name" for this that I know of, but an array of linked list nodes would work quite well for this. Traditionally linked lists are separate and simply a row of items pointing to the next. However, there is no reason why certain linked list nodes cannot point...
cut the tree by removing edges
java,data-structures,graph,tree,edge
You need to add a method for disconnecting a child from a parent node. That would look something like this: private void disconnectChild(Node child) { children.remove(child); } You would then call this method from your disconnect() method like so: private void disconnect() { if (parent != null) { parent.disconnectChild(this); parent...
Print data-structure/ Data-type hierarchy
Please see if the following fits your requirements: def ppt(data): if isinstance(data, int): return "Int()" elif isinstance(data, str): return "Str()" elif isinstance(data, list): if len(data) == 0: return "List()" else: return "List()<" + ", ".join([ppt(item) for item in data]) + ">" elif isinstance(data, dict): if len(data) == 0: return "Dict()"...
Doubly Linked List, MergeSort, getting undefined and unreliable results
c,algorithm,data-structures,mergesort,doubly-linked-list
A bottom up merge sort is more appropriate for sorting a linked list. An efficient method for doing this is to use an array of pointers to the first nodes of lists, where the number of nodes pointed to by array[i] is 2^i (2 to the power i), or array[i]...
Need help coming up with best structure for declaring/populating many arrays of XYZ data
arrays,vb.net,visual-studio-2010,data-structures
Another approach is to use a structure with the basic data then some generic lists to contain the data. it's type safe. fairly resource neutral, and keeps all the objects inside one object. I tend to wrap the generic like this to simplify passing the top level data object to...
String Pattern Matching Algorithm Used in Different Applications [on hold]

For instance a single string matching is the z-algorithm. It's the fastest matcher.
Stack, Queue, Tree?
It cannot be a queue, because a queue only supports "popping" the oldest item (FIFO: first in first out), and 1 is inserted last.
