algoaid 1.0.2

Tools for learning about algorithms and data structures

algoaid

A collection of useful tools for students taking an introductory course in algorithms and data structures.

Installation

pip install algoaid

Features

• Time complexity analysis of functions
• Graphs
  • Represent: [weighted] [un]directed, disjoint-set/union find
  • Easy to input a graph
  • Run basic graph algorithms (DFS, BFS, MST, Dijkstra's and more)
  • Visualise results
• Versatile Min/Max-heap with decrease/increase key functionality

Modules

• Time complexity: analyse
• Graph class: Graph
• Priority queues: MinHeap, MaxHeap

Usage: Time Complexity Analysis

Analyse time complexity of a function with a single parameter:

1. Import

from algoaid import analyse

2. Define a Function

def f(n):
    j = 1
    while j * j < n:
        j += 1

3. Analyse

analyse(f)

Example Result

Usage: Graphs

Construct various types of graphs and run a selection of popular graph algorithms:

1. Import

from algoaid import Graph

2. Declare the Graph (each line represents an edge)

edges = """
    0..2 6
    0..1 1
    0..5 2
    .
    .
    .
    2..5 4
"""

Syntax:

• Undirected: [node1]..[node2] [weight (optional)]
• Directed: [from]..[to] [weight (optional)]
• Disjoint-set: [parent]..[child]

3. Construct the Graph

# construct undirected graph
g = Graph(edges, type=Graph.GraphType.GRAPH)

# construct directed graph
g = Graph(edges, type=Graph.GraphType.DI_GRAPH)

# construct disjoint set
g = Graph(edges, type=Graph.GraphType.DISJOINT_SET)

4. Display the Graph

g.display("My Graph")

5. Run Algorithms

# Run DFS from node 0
g.dfs_tree("0")

# Run BFS from node 0
g.bfs_tree("0")

# Compute MST (requires a weighted undirected graph)
g.mst_tree()

# Run Dijkstra's algorithm from node 0 (requires a weighted graph)
g.dijkstra_tree("0")

# Topological sorting (requires a directed graph)
g.topological_sort()

# Find with path compression (requires disjoint-set)
g.show_find("6")

# Union (requires disjoint-set)
g.show_union("9", "11")
