[Javascript] [] is ArrayList
Run the following code, found that for get & push & pop
, it is O(1) time;
But for shift/unshfit
, it is O(n) time.
In this cases, Javascript's [], is a ArrayList, everytime you do shift or unshift it need to move the rest of items by one off which is slow operation for large amount of data.
const a: number[] = [];
function time(fn: () => void): number {
const now = Date.now();
fn();
return Date.now() - now;
}
function unshift(number: number) {
for (let i = 0; i < number; ++i) {
a.unshift(Math.random());
}
}
function shift(number: number) {
for (let i = 0; i < number; ++i) {
a.shift();
}
}
function push(number: number) {
for (let i = 0; i < number; ++i) {
a.push(Math.random());
}
}
function pop(number: number) {
for (let i = 0; i < number; ++i) {
a.pop();
}
}
function get(idx: number) {
return function() {
return a[idx];
};
}
function push_arr(count: number) {
return function() {
push(count);
};
}
function pop_arr(count: number) {
return function() {
pop(count);
};
}
function unshift_arr(count: number) {
return function() {
unshift(count);
};
}
function shift_arr(count: number) {
return function() {
shift(count);
};
}
