PHP Sorted Collections

Sorted Collection for PHP. Insertion, search, and removal compute in log(n) time where n is the number of items present in the collection. It uses AVL threaded tree [see @Knuth97, 1:320, Sect. 2.3.1] as internal structure.

This project uses:

• PHP Code Sniffer for checking PHP code style using Joomla Coding Standards
• PHPUnit for unit test (100% covered)
• phpDocumentor and sphpdox for documentation

Instructions

Using composer: either

$ composer create-project chdemko/sorted-collections:1.0.*@dev; cd sorted-collections

or create a composer.json file containing

{
    "require": {
        "chdemko/sorted-collections": "1.0.*@dev"
    }
}

and run

$ composer install

Run also

$ [sudo] pip install [--user] -r docs/requirements.txt

if you want to create local documentation.

Create a test.php file containg

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use chdemko\SortedCollection\TreeMap;

$tree = TreeMap::create()->put(
    [1=>1, 9=>9, 5=>5, 2=>2, 6=>6, 3=>3, 0=>0, 8=>8, 7=>7, 4=>4]
);
echo $tree . PHP_EOL;

This should print

[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]

See the examples and benchmarks folder for more information.
