Iterative Red Black Trees

Red Black Trees

Balanced binary search trees are pervasive in modern software. Providing worst case performance of O(logN) red black trees are by far the most pervasive choice when it comes to their implementation. They are famously complicat

Priority Queues: Sorting's unsung hero, and the true champion of Graph Algorithms

Exploring binary heaps for efficiently implementing the Priority Queue ADT.

The Priority Queue ADT

Unlike a regular queue which operates on a first-in first-out fashion, or the Last-in First-out ordering of a stack, a priorit

Pretty(er) Tree Printing with Breadth First Traversal

Displaying Binary Search Trees

Despite the various methods for traversing a tree, displaying the actual structure visually is a more difficult task than one would think. We know that a pre-order traversal gives us some

RNG: Dice Rolls and Coin Tosses

Simulating Dice and Coin Flips

This is going to be a rather short article because its a pretty simple concept, though one that comes up repeatedly on various programming forums: How to you simulate a coin toss or the roll of a dice?

Creating a Simple FIFO Queue for C

First In, First Out

Queues are on of the most fundamental data structures in use. Queues are an ordered collection. Items are added in such a way that the first item added to the queue is the first Item to be removed. They pop everywhere
