This module implements a crit bit tree which is an efficient container for a sorted set of strings, or for a sorted mapping of strings. Based on the excellent paper by Adam Langley. (A crit bit tree is a form of radix tree or patricia trie.)
Example:
static: block: var critbitAsSet: CritBitTree[void] doAssert critbitAsSet.len == 0 incl critbitAsSet, "kitten" doAssert critbitAsSet.len == 1 incl critbitAsSet, "puppy" doAssert critbitAsSet.len == 2 incl critbitAsSet, "kitten" doAssert critbitAsSet.len == 2 incl critbitAsSet, "" doAssert critbitAsSet.len == 3 block: var critbitAsDict: CritBitTree[int] critbitAsDict["key"] = 42 doAssert critbitAsDict["key"] == 42 critbitAsDict["key"] = 0 doAssert critbitAsDict["key"] == 0 critbitAsDict["key"] = -int.high doAssert critbitAsDict["key"] == -int.high critbitAsDict["key"] = int.high doAssert critbitAsDict["key"] == int.high
Types
CritBitTree[T] = object root: Node[T] count: int
- The crit bit tree can either be used as a mapping from strings to some type T or as a set of strings if T is void. Source Edit
Procs
proc excl[T](c: var CritBitTree[T]; key: string)
-
Removes key (and its associated value) from the set c. If the key does not exist, nothing happens.
See also:
Example:
var c: CritBitTree[void] incl(c, "key") excl(c, "key") doAssert not c.contains("key")
Source Edit proc missingOrExcl[T](c: var CritBitTree[T]; key: string): bool
-
Returns true if c does not contain the given key. If the key does exist, c.excl(key) is performed.
See also:
Example:
block: var c: CritBitTree[void] doAssert c.missingOrExcl("key") block: var c: CritBitTree[void] incl(c, "key") doAssert not c.missingOrExcl("key") doAssert not c.contains("key")
Source Edit proc containsOrIncl[T](c: var CritBitTree[T]; key: string; val: T): bool
-
Returns true if c contains the given key. If the key does not exist c[key] = val is performed.
See also:
Example:
block: var c: CritBitTree[int] doAssert not c.containsOrIncl("key", 42) doAssert c.contains("key") block: var c: CritBitTree[int] incl(c, "key", 21) doAssert c.containsOrIncl("key", 42) doAssert c["key"] == 21
Source Edit proc containsOrIncl(c: var CritBitTree[void]; key: string): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
-
Returns true if c contains the given key. If the key does not exist it is inserted into c.
See also:
Example:
block: var c: CritBitTree[void] doAssert not c.containsOrIncl("key") doAssert c.contains("key") block: var c: CritBitTree[void] incl(c, "key") doAssert c.containsOrIncl("key")
Source Edit proc inc(c: var CritBitTree[int]; key: string; val: int = 1) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
-
Increments c[key] by val.
Example:
var c: CritBitTree[int] c["key"] = 1 inc(c, "key") doAssert c["key"] == 2
Source Edit proc incl(c: var CritBitTree[void]; key: string) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
-
Includes key in c.
See also:
Example:
var c: CritBitTree[void] incl(c, "key") doAssert c.hasKey("key")
Source Edit proc incl[T](c: var CritBitTree[T]; key: string; val: T)
-
Inserts key with value val into c.
See also:
Example:
var c: CritBitTree[int] incl(c, "key", 42) doAssert c["key"] == 42
Source Edit proc `[]=`[T](c: var CritBitTree[T]; key: string; val: T)
-
Puts a (key, value)-pair into t.

Example:
var c: CritBitTree[int] c["key"] = 42 doAssert c["key"] == 42

Funcs
func len[T](c: CritBitTree[T]): int {...}{.inline.}
-
Returns the number of elements in c in O(1).
Example:
var c: CritBitTree[void] incl(c, "key1") incl(c, "key2") doAssert c.len == 2
Source Edit func contains[T](c: CritBitTree[T]; key: string): bool {...}{.inline.}
-
Returns true if c contains the given key.
Example:
var c: CritBitTree[void] incl(c, "key") doAssert c.contains("key")
Source Edit func hasKey[T](c: CritBitTree[T]; key: string): bool {...}{.inline.}
- Alias for contains. Source Edit
func `[]`[T](c: CritBitTree[T]; key: string): T {...}{.inline.}
-
Retrieves the value at c[key]. If key is not in t, the KeyError exception is raised. One can check with hasKey whether the key exists.
See also:
Source Edit func `[]`[T](c: var CritBitTree[T]; key: string): var T {...}{.inline.}
-
Retrieves the value at c[key]. The value can be modified. If key is not in t, the KeyError exception is raised.
See also:
Source Edit func `$`[T](c: CritBitTree[T]): string
- Turns c into a string representation. Example outputs: {keyA: value, keyB: value}, {:} If T is void the outputs look like: {keyA, keyB}, {}. Source Edit
func commonPrefixLen[T](c: CritBitTree[T]): int {...}{.inline.}
-
Returns longest common prefix length of all keys of c. If c is empty, returns 0.
Example:
var c: CritBitTree[void] doAssert c.commonPrefixLen == 0 incl(c, "key1") doAssert c.commonPrefixLen == 4 incl(c, "key2") doAssert c.commonPrefixLen == 3
Source Edit func toCritBitTree[A, B](pairs: openArray[(A, B)]): CritBitTree[A]
-
Creates a new CritBitTree that contains the given pairs.
Example:
doAssert {"a": "0", "b": "1", "c": "2"}.toCritBitTree is CritBitTree[string]
Source Edit func toCritBitTree[T](items: openArray[T]): CritBitTree[void]
-
Creates a new CritBitTree that contains the given items.
Example:
doAssert ["a", "b", "c"].toCritBitTree is CritBitTree[void]
