Container primitives. Below, C means a container type, c is a value of container type, n_x represents the effective length of value x, which could be a single element (in which case n_x is 1), a container, or a range.
Syntax	Ο(·)	Description
C(x)	n_x	Creates a container of type C from either another container or a range.
c.dup	n_c	Returns a duplicate of the container.
c ~ x	n_c + n_x	Returns the concatenation of c and r. x may be a single element or an input range.
x ~ c	n_c + n_x	Returns the concatenation of x and c. x may be a single element or an input range type.
c.Range		The primary range type associated with the container.
c[]	log n_c	Returns a range iterating over the entire container, in a container-defined order.
c[a, b]	log n_c	Fetches a portion of the container from key a to key b.
c.empty	1	Returns true if the container has no elements, false otherwise.
c.length	log n_c	Returns the number of elements in the container.
c.length = n	n_c + n	Forces the number of elements in the container to n. If the container ends up growing, the added elements are initialized in a container-dependent manner (usually with T.init).
c.capacity	log n_c	Returns the maximum number of elements that can be stored in the container without triggering a reallocation.
c.reserve(x)	n_c	Forces capacity to at least x without reducing it.
c.front	log n_c	Returns the first element of the container, in a container-defined order.
c.moveFront	log n_c	Destructively reads and returns the first element of the container. The slot is not removed from the container; it is left initalized with T.init. This routine need not be defined if front returns a ref.
c.front = v	log n_c	Assigns v to the first element of the container.
c.back	log n_c	Returns the last element of the container, in a container-defined order.
c.moveBack	log n_c	Destructively reads and returns the first element of the container. The slot is not removed from the container; it is left initalized with T.init. This routine need not be defined if front returns a ref.
c.back = v	log n_c	Assigns v to the last element of the container.
c[x]	log n_c	Provides indexed access into the container. The index type is container-defined. A container may define several index types (and consequently overloaded indexing).
c.moveAt(x)	log n_c	Destructively reads and returns the value at position x. The slot is not removed from the container; it is left initialized with T.init.
c[x] = v	log n_c	Sets element at specified index into the container.
c[x] op= v	log n_c	Performs read-modify-write operation at specified index into the container.
e in c	log n_c	Returns nonzero if e is found in c.
c.lowerBound(v)	log n_c	Returns a range of all elements strictly less than v.
c.upperBound(v)	log n_c	Returns a range of all elements strictly greater than v.
c.equalRange(v)	log n_c	Returns a range of all elements in c that are equal to v.
c ~= x	n_c + n_x	Appends x to c. x may be a single element or an input range type.
c.clear()	n_c	Removes all elements in c.
c.insert(x)	n_x * log n_c	Inserts x in c at a position (or positions) chosen by c.
c.stableInsert(x)	n_x * log n_c	Same as c.insert(x), but is guaranteed to not invalidate any ranges.
c.linearInsert(v)	n_c	Same as c.insert(v) but relaxes complexity to linear.
c.stableLinearInsert(v)	n_c	Same as c.stableInsert(v) but relaxes complexity to linear.
c.removeAny()	log n_c	Removes some element from c and returns it.
c.stableRemoveAny()	log n_c	Same as c.removeAny(), but is guaranteed to not invalidate any iterators.
c.insertFront(v)	log n_c	Inserts v at the front of c.
c.stableInsertFront(v)	log n_c	Same as c.insertFront(v), but guarantees no ranges will be invalidated.
c.insertBack(v)	log n_c	Inserts v at the back of c.
c.stableInsertBack(v)	log n_c	Same as c.insertBack(v), but guarantees no ranges will be invalidated.
c.removeFront()	log n_c	Removes the element at the front of c.
c.stableRemoveFront()	log n_c	Same as c.removeFront(), but guarantees no ranges will be invalidated.
c.removeBack()	log n_c	Removes the value at the back of c.
c.stableRemoveBack()	log n_c	Same as c.removeBack(), but guarantees no ranges will be invalidated.
c.remove(r)	n_r * log n_c	Removes range r from c.
c.stableRemove(r)	n_r * log n_c	Same as c.remove(r), but guarantees iterators are not invalidated.
c.linearRemove(r)	n_c	Removes range r from c.
c.stableLinearRemove(r)	n_c	Same as c.linearRemove(r), but guarantees iterators are not invalidated.
c.removeKey(k)	log n_c	Removes an element from c by using its key k. The key's type is defined by the container.

Container make(Container, T...)(T arguments); Container make(Container, T...)(T arguments);

Implements a simple and fast singly-linked list.

this(U)(U[] values...);

Constructor taking a number of nodes

this(Stuff)(Stuff stuff);

Constructor taking an input range

const bool empty();

Property returning true if and only if the container has no elements.

Complexity:
Ο(1)

SList dup();

Duplicates the container. The elements themselves are not transitively duplicated.

Complexity:
Ο(n).

Returns a new SList that's the concatenation of this and its argument. opBinaryRight is only defined if Stuff does not define opBinary.

void clear();

Removes all contents from the SList.

Postcondition:
empty

Complexity:
Ο(1)

size_t insertFront(Stuff)(Stuff stuff); size_t insertFront(Stuff)(Stuff stuff); alias insert; alias stableInsert; alias stableInsertFront;

Inserts stuff to the front of the container. stuff can be a value convertible to T or a range of objects convertible to T. The stable version behaves the same, but guarantees that ranges iterating over the container are never invalidated.

Returns:
The number of elements inserted

Complexity:
Ο(log(n))

T removeAny(); alias stableRemoveAny;

Picks one value from the front of the container, removes it from the container, and returns it.

Precondition:
!empty

Returns:
The element removed.

Complexity:
Ο(1).

void removeFront(); alias stableRemoveFront;

Removes the value at the front of the container. The stable version behaves the same, but guarantees that ranges iterating over the container are never invalidated.

Precondition:
!empty

Complexity:
Ο(1).

size_t removeFront(size_t howMany); alias stableRemoveFront;

Removes howMany values at the front or back of the container. Unlike the unparameterized versions above, these functions do not throw if they could not remove howMany elements. Instead, if howMany > n, all elements are removed. The returned value is the effective number of elements removed. The stable version behaves the same, but guarantees that ranges iterating over the container are never invalidated.

Returns:
The number of elements removed

Complexity:
Ο(howMany * log(n)).

size_t insertAfter(Stuff)(Range r, Stuff stuff);

Inserts stuff after range r, which must be a range previously extracted from this container. Given that all ranges for a list end at the end of the list, this function essentially appends to the list and uses r as a potentially fast way to reach the last node in the list. (Ideally r is positioned near or at the last element of the list.)

stuff can be a value convertible to T or a range of objects convertible to T. The stable version behaves the same, but guarantees that ranges iterating over the container are never invalidated.

Returns:

Ο(k + m), where k is the number of elements in r and m is the length of stuff.

size_t insertAfter(Stuff)(Take!(Range) r, Stuff stuff); alias stableInsertAfter;

Similar to insertAfter above, but accepts a range bounded in count. This is important for ensuring fast insertions in the middle of the list. For fast insertions after a specified position r, use insertAfter(take(r, 1), stuff). The complexity of that operation only depends on the number of elements in stuff.

Precondition:
r.original.empty || r.maxLength > 0

Returns:
The number of values inserted.

Complexity:
Ο(k + m), where k is the number of elements in r and m is the length of stuff.

A range comprehending the elements after the removed range.

Complexity:

Defines the container's primary range, which is a random-access range.

const bool empty();

Complexity:
Ο(1)

Indexing operators yield or modify the value at a specified index.

Precondition:
i < length

Complexity:
Ο(1)

Array opBinary(string op, Stuff)(Stuff stuff);

Returns a new container that's the concatenation of this and its argument. opBinaryRight is only defined if Stuff does not define opBinary.

Complexity:
Ο(n + m), where m is the number of elements in stuff

void opOpAssign(string op, Stuff)(Stuff stuff);

Forwards to insertBack(stuff).

void clear();

Removes all contents from the container. The container decides how capacity is affected.

Postcondition:
empty

Complexity:
Ο(n)

void length(size_t newLength);

Sets the number of elements in the container to newSize. If newSize is greater than length, the added elements are added to unspecified positions in the container and initialized with T.init.

Complexity:
Ο(abs(n - newLength))

Postcondition:
length == newLength

T removeAny(); alias stableRemoveAny;

Picks one value in an unspecified position in the container, removes it from the container, and returns it. Implementations should pick the value that's the most advantageous for the container, but document the exact behavior. The stable version behaves the same, but guarantees that ranges iterating over the container are never invalidated.

Precondition:
!empty

Returns:
The element removed.

Complexity:
Ο(log(n)).

size_t insertBack(Stuff)(Stuff stuff); alias insert;

Returns:
The number of elements inserted

Complexity:
Ο(m * log(n)), where m is the number of elements in stuff

Removes the value at the back of the container. The stable version behaves the same, but guarantees that ranges iterating over the container are never invalidated.

Returns:
The number of elements removed

struct BinaryHeap(Store,alias less = "a < b") if (isRandomAccessRange!(Store) || isRandomAccessRange!(typeof(Store.init[])));

Implements a binary heap container on top of a given random-access range type (usually T[]) or a random-access container type (usually Array!T). The documentation of BinaryHeap will refer to the underlying range or container as the store of the heap.

The binary heap induces structure over the underlying store such that accessing the largest element (by using the front property) is a Ο(1) operation and extracting it (by using the removeFront() method) is done fast in Ο(log n) time.

If less is the less-than operator, which is the default option, then BinaryHeap defines a so-called max-heap that optimizes extraction of the largest elements. To define a min-heap, instantiate BinaryHeap with "a > b" as its predicate.

Simply extracting elements from a BinaryHeap container is tantamount to lazily fetching elements of Store in descending order. Extracting elements from the BinaryHeap to completion leaves the underlying store sorted in ascending order but, again, yields elements in descending order.

If Store is a range, the BinaryHeap cannot grow beyond the size of that range. If Store is a container that supports insertBack, the BinaryHeap may grow by adding elements to the container.

Example:

// Example from "Introduction to Algorithms" Cormen et al, p 146
int[] a = [ 4, 1, 3, 2, 16, 9, 10, 14, 8, 7 ];
auto h = heapify(a);
// largest element
assert(h.front == 16);
// a has the heap property
assert(equal(a, [ 16, 14, 10, 9, 8, 7, 4, 3, 2, 1 ]));

this(Store s, size_t initialSize = size_t.max);: Converts the store s into a heap. If initialSize is specified, only the first initialSize elements in s are transformed into a heap, after which the heap can grow up to r.length (if Store is a range) or indefinitely (if Store is a container with insertBack). Performs Ο(min(r.length, initialSize)) evaluations of less.
void acquire(Store s, size_t initialSize = size_t.max);: Takes ownership of a store. After this, manipulating s may make the heap work incorrectly.
void assume(Store s, size_t initialSize = size_t.max);: Takes ownership of a store assuming it already was organized as a heap.
auto release();: Clears the heap. Returns the portion of the store from 0 up to length, which satisfies the heap property.
bool empty();: Returns true if the heap is empty, false otherwise.
BinaryHeap dup();: Returns a duplicate of the heap. The underlying store must also support a dup method.
size_t length();: Returns the length of the heap.
size_t capacity();: Returns the capacity of the heap, which is the length of the underlying store (if the store is a range) or the capacity of the underlying store (if the store is a container).
ElementType!(Store) front();: Returns a copy of the front of the heap, which is the largest element according to less.
void clear();: Clears the heap by detaching it from the underlying store.
size_t insert(ElementType!(Store) value);: Inserts value into the store. If the underlying store is a range and length == capacity, throws an exception.
void removeFront();: Removes the largest element from the heap.
ElementType!(Store) removeAny();: Removes the largest element from the heap and returns a copy of it. The element still resides in the heap's store. For performance reasons you may want to use removeFront with heaps of objects that are expensive to copy.
void replaceFront(ElementType!(Store) value);: Replaces the largest element in the store with value.
bool conditionalInsert(ElementType!(Store) value);: If the heap has room to grow, inserts value into the store and returns true. Otherwise, if less(value, front), calls replaceFront(value) and returns again true. Otherwise, leaves the heap unaffected and returns false. This method is useful in scenarios where the smallest k elements of a set of candidates must be collected.

BinaryHeap!(Store) heapify(Store)(Store s, size_t initialSize = size_t.max);

Convenience function that returns a BinaryHeap!Store object initialized with s and initialSize.

class RedBlackTree(T,alias less = "a < b",bool allowDuplicates = false) if (is(typeof(binaryFun!(less)(T.init,T.init))));

Implementation of a red-black tree container.

All inserts, removes, searches, and any function in general has complexity of Ο(lg(n)).

To use a different comparison than "a < b", pass a different operator string that can be used by std.functional.binaryFun, or pass in a function, delegate, functor, or any type where less(a, b) results in a bool value.

Note that less should produce a strict ordering. That is, for two unequal elements a and b, less(a, b) == !less(b, a). less(a, a) should always equal false.

If allowDuplicates is set to true, then inserting the same element more than once continues to add more elements. If it is false, duplicate elements are ignored on insertion. If duplicates are allowed, then new elements are inserted after all existing duplicate elements.
