Package Exports

arotable/AroTable.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (arotable) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

AroTable

AroTable

Description

AroTable is a very fast sorting data structure, with Big O Notation of O(n) in adding, but a Big O Notation of O(1) in removing and searching!

Compatible with both client-side and server-side environments.

Usage

Client-side and Server-side

Install the AroTable package with NPM:

npm install arotable

In your application code, to use the data structure, import AroTable. Then assign a variable to a new instance of the AroTable class:

import AroTable from 'arotable';

const aroTable = new AroTable();

The AroTable constructor works like an overloaded constructor, it could be giving no arguments or it could be given the same kind of arguments as the add() method.

Methods

The returnArray() Method

The returnArray() method returns an array representation of the AroTable:

const aroTable = new AroTable(1,2,'3',-4);

aroTable.returnArray(); // Returns [-4, 1, 2, 3]

The size() Method

The size() method returns the number of integers held in the AroTable:

const aroTable = new AroTable(-1,2,'3');

aroTable.size(); // Returns 3

The add() Method

The add() method, as the name suggests adds the arguments passed to it to the AroTable. Its arguments could be an integer, multiple integers, or an array, or better still a combination of both. Returns true if successful, returns false if not:

const aroTable = new AroTable();

aroTable.add(1); // Returns true
aroTable.add(-2,3); // Returns true
aroTable.add([4]); // Returns true
aroTable.add([5,-6]); // Returns true
aroTable.add([-7,8],-9); // Returns true
aroTable.add([10,11],12,-13); // Returns true

aroTable.add(); // Returns false

The add() method can also work with strings that can be converted to a valid integer, with the exception of null and empty string (''):

aroTable.add('1'); // Returns true
aroTable.add('-2','3'); // Returns true
aroTable.add(['4']); // Returns true
aroTable.add(['5','-6']); // Returns true
aroTable.add(['-7','8'],'-9'); // Returns true
aroTable.add(['10','-11'],'12','-13'); // Returns true
aroTable.add(['10','-11'],'12','-13'); // Returns true
aroTable.add(['10','-11'],'12','-13'); // Returns true
aroTable.add(14,['15','-16'],'17',['-18'],19,20,-21,['22','-23',24,25,-26],27,28); // Returns true
aroTable.add([1,2,[3,4,[5,6,[7,8]]]],9); // Returns true

aroTable.add(null); // Returns false
aroTable.add(null,undefined); // Returns false
aroTable.add([null]); // Returns false
aroTable.add([null,undefined]); // Returns false
aroTable.add([null,undefined],null); // Returns false
aroTable.add('one'); // Returns false
aroTable.add('two','three'); // Returns false
aroTable.add('four','five'); // Returns false

If the arguments passed contains integer convertible types along with non-integer convertible types, the add() method will add the valid input to the AroTable, ignoring the non-integer convertible types:

aroTable.add(1,'-2','three',-4,'5',null,7,undefined,'nine');  // returns true
// In this case, 1, '-2', -4, '5', 7 are added to the AroTable, while all other non-integer convertible typed values are ignored.

The remove() Method

The remove() method takes in an integer argument and removes an occurrence of the integer from the AroTable. Returns true if successful, returns false if not:

const aroTable = new AroTable(2);

aroTable.remove(1); // Returns false
aroTable.remove(2); // Returns true

The removeAll() Method

The removeAll() method takes in an integer argument and removes all occurrences of the integer from the AroTable. Returns true if successful, returns false if not:

const aroTable = new AroTable(2,2,2,4,5,6,2);

aroTable.removeAll(-7); // Returns false
aroTable.removeAll('2'); // Returns true
aroTable.returnArray(); // Returns [4, 5, 6]

The search() Method

The search() method takes in an integer argument and returns the indices that that integer would appear in an array representation, returns false if no occurrence is found:

const aroTable = new AroTable(1,3,-2,5,6,-2,6,7,3);

aroTable.search(-2); // Returns [0, 1]
aroTable.search(3); // Returns [3, 4]
aroTable.search(9); // Returns false

The clearDuplicates() Method

The clearDuplicates() method removes all duplicated occurrences from the AroTable, leaving a single occurrence. Returns true if successful, returns false if not:

const aroTable = new AroTable(1,2,3,4,2,3,4,5,6,6,6,3);

aroTable.clearDuplicates(); // Returns true
aroTable.returnArray(); // Returns [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ]
aroTable.clearDuplicates(); // Returns false
aroTable.returnArray(); // Returns [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ]

The returnDuplicates() Method

The returnDuplicates() method returns a sorted array of all integers with duplicated occurrences in the AroTable, if none exists, returns false:

const aroTable = new AroTable(1,2,3,4,2,3,4,5,6,6,6,3);

aroTable.returnDuplicates(); // Returns [ 2, 3, 4, 6 ]
aroTable.clearDuplicates();
aroTable.returnDuplicates(); // Returns false

The dropDuplicates() method

The dropDuplicates() removes all integers with multiple occurrences from the AroTable. Returns true if successful, returns false if not:

const aroTable = new AroTable(1,2,3,4,2,3,4,5,6,6,6,3);

aroTable.dropDuplicates(); // Returns true
aroTable.returnArray(); // Returns [ 1, 5 ]
aroTable.dropDuplicates(); // Returns false

The dropUnits() Method

The dropUnits() method removes all integers with a single occurrence from the AroTable. Returns true if successful, returns false if not:

const aroTable = new AroTable(1,2,3,4,2,3,4,5,6,6,6,3);

aroTable.dropUnits(); // Returns true
aroTable.returnArray(); // Returns [ 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 6, 6, 6 ]
aroTable.dropUnits(); // Returns false

The returnUnits() Method

The returnUnits() method returns a sorted array of all integers with a single occurrence in the AroTable, if none exists, returns false:

const aroTable = new AroTable(1,2,3,4,2,3,4,5,6,6,6,3);

aroTable.returnUnits(); // Returns [ 1, 5 ]
aroTable.dropUnits();
aroTable.returnUnits(); // Returns false

The dropPositives() Method

The dropPositives() method removes all positive integers from the AroTable. Returns true if successful, returns false if not:

const aroTable = new AroTable(-5,-4,-3,'-2',-1,'0',1,2,'3',4,5);

aroTable.dropPositives(); // Returns true
aroTable.returnArray(); // Returns [ -5, -4, -3, -2, -1 ]
aroTable.dropPositives(); // Returns false

The returnPositives() Method

The returnPositives() method returns a sorted array of all positive integers in the AroTable, if none exists returns false:

const aroTable = new AroTable(-5,-4,-3,'-2',-1,'0',1,2,'3',4,5);

aroTable.returnPositives(); // Returns [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]
aroTable.dropPositives();
aroTable.returnPositives(); // Returns false

The dropNegatives() Method

The dropNegatives() method removes all negative integers from the AroTable. Returns true if successful, returns false if not:

const aroTable = new AroTable(-5,-4,-3,'-2',-1,'0',1,2,'3',4,5);

aroTable.dropNegatives(); // Returns true
aroTable.returnArray(); // Returns [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]
aroTable.dropNegatives(); // Returns false

The returnNegatives() Method

The returnNegatives() method returns a sorted array of all negative integers in the AroTable, if none exists returns false:

const aroTable = new AroTable(-5,-4,-3,'-2',-1,'0',1,2,'3',4,5);

aroTable.returnNegatives(); // Returns [ -5, -4, -3, -2, -1 ]
aroTable.dropNegatives();
aroTable.returnNegatives(); // Returns false

The getDistribution() Method

The getDistribution() method returns an object showing the distribution of integers in the AroTable:

const aroTable = new AroTable(-5,-4,-3,'-2',-1,'0',1,2,'3',4,5);

aroTable.getDistribution(); // Returns { 'Positive Integers': 6, 'Negative Integers': 5 }

The empty() Method

The empty() method wipes the AroTable clean, it has no return value:

const aroTable = new AroTable(1,'3',2,'-5',4,'-2','-1',5,-3,'-4');

aroTable.empty();
aroTable.returnArray(); // Returns []
aroTable.getDistribution(); // Returns { 'Positive Integers': 0, 'Negative Integers': 0 }

A better way to check if the AroTable is empty, is to use...

The isEmpty() Method

The isEmpty() method returns true if the AroTable is empty, returns false if not:

const aroTable = new AroTable(1,'3',2,'-5',4,'-2','-1',5,-3,'-4');

aroTable.isEmpty(); // Returns false
aroTable.empty();
aroTable.isEmpty() // Returns true

Requirements

The AroTable data structure has zero dependencies.
