Implementing the skip list data structure in java --reference

reference:http://www.mathcs.emory.edu/~cheung/Courses/323/Syllabus/Map/skip-list-impl.html

The link list element structure used to implement a Skip List
- The link list element used to implement the skip list has 4 links (not including the data portion):

The Entry strcuture in a Skip List (the SkipListEntry class)

Skip List entry:

  public class SkipListEntry
  {
     public String key;
     public Integer value;

     public SkipListEntry up;       // up link
     public SkipListEntry down;     // down link
     public SkipListEntry left;     // left link
     public SkipListEntry right;    // right link        
       
     ...
     (methods)
  }

Note:

As you can see, my entry type is again very specific (no generic types):
String key

Integer value
When I write the demo program, I will do it using specific types (classes), not parameterized classes
I have showed you how to convert a specific class into a parameterized class, so you can write one if you want to

Reason for using specific classes:

My choice is didactic in nature; I don't want to spend time analyzing the overly complex syntax of parameterized classes
I want to spend my time teaching algorithms, not Java syntax

Making (and using) the special −∞ and +∞ elements

Representing the −∞ element and the +∞ element:
The −∞ and the +∞ is just an ordinary Skip List Entry containing a special value for the key field.

We can accommodate the −∞ element and the +∞ element by defining 2 special key value:

  public class SkipListEntry
  {
     public String key;						     
     public Integer value;						     

     public SkipListEntry up, down, left, right;			     
  									
     public static String negInf = "-oo";  // -inf key value
     public static String posInf = "+oo";  // +inf key value
   
   
     ....
  }

How to instantiate a Skip List entry containing +∞:

     SkipListEntry x = new SkipListEntry( SkipListEntry.posInf, null );

How to check if an Skip List entry x contains +∞:

       key == SkipListEntry.posInf

OK, now we move on to the Skip list itself....

Structure (class) to represent a Skip List

Remember that a Skip List is a very complicated list
But.... It is never the less a list
To represent a list, we only use a pointer (that points to the first element)

Often, we use more pointers for improve efficiency (such as a tail pointer)

Variables in the SkipList class:

   public class SkipList
   {
     public SkipListEntry head;    // First element of the top level
     public SkipListEntry tail;    // Last element of the top level
    
    
     public int n;                 // number of entries in the Skip List   
    
     public int h;       // Height
     public Random r;    // Coin toss
    
     ....
    
   }

Note:

The Random object r is used to determine the height of a newly added entry
(We use r to simulate a coin toss experiment)

Example illustrating how the variables are used:

Note:

Since the logical top level does not contain any entries:
The implementation will omit the logical top layer
The variables head and tail provide quick access to the end elements of the real top layer
Usage of head and tail:
They allow us to easily add an new layer above the top layer

Constructing a Skip List object

The constructor will construct an empty Skip List which looks like this:

Constructor code:

  public SkipList()     // Constructor...
  {
     SkipListEntry p1, p2;

     /* -----------------------------------
        Create an -oo and an +oo object
	----------------------------------- */
     p1 = new SkipListEntry(SkipListEntry.negInf, null);
     p2 = new SkipListEntry(SkipListEntry.posInf, null);


     /* --------------------------------------
        Link the -oo and +oo object together
	--------------------------------------- */
     p1.right = p2;
     p2.left = p1;

     /* --------------------------------------
        Initialize "head" and "tail"
	--------------------------------------- */
     head = p1;
     tail = p2;

     /* --------------------------------------
        Other initializations
	--------------------------------------- */
     n = 0;                   // No entries in Skip List
     h = 0;		      // Height is 0

     r = new Random();	      // Make random object to simulate coin toss
  }

The SkipList class so far:

   public class SkipList
   {
     public SkipListEntry head;    // First element of the top level
     public SkipListEntry tail;    // Last element of the top level
    
     public int n;                 // number of entries in the Skip List    
    
     public int h;       // Height
     public Random r;    // Coin toss
    
     public SkipList()    // Constructor...
     {
   	SkipListEntry p1, p2;
    
   	p1 = new SkipListEntry(SkipListEntry.negInf, null);
   	p2 = new SkipListEntry(SkipListEntry.posInf, null);
    
   	head = p1;
   	tail = p2;
    
   	p1.right = p2;
   	p2.left = p1;
    
   	n = 0;
    
   	h = 0;
   	r = new Random();
     }
    
     ...
   }

Implementing the basic Map operations
- Basic Map operations:
  get()
  
  put()
  
  remove()
  Notice that each basic operation must first find (search) the appropriate entry (using a key) before the operation can be completed.
  
  So we must learn how to search a Skip List for a given key first....

Search operation in a skip list

Consider the links traversed to locate the key 50:

Psuedo code:


   p = head;

   repeat
   {

      Move to the right until your right neighbor node         
      contains a key that is greater than k     

      if ( not lowest level )
         Drop down one level
      else
         exit
   }

Search algorithm for Skip List:


  /* ------------------------------------------------------
     findEntry(k): find the largest key x <= k
                   on the LOWEST level of the Skip List
     ------------------------------------------------------ */

  public SkipListEntry findEntry(String k)
  {
     SkipListEntry p;

     /* -----------------
        Start at "head"
        ----------------- */
     p = head;

     while ( true )
     {
        /* ------------------------------------------------
           Search RIGHT until you find a LARGER entry

           E.g.: k = 34

                     10 ---> 20 ---> 30 ---> 40
                                      ^
                                      |
                                      p must stop here
		p.right.key = 40
           ------------------------------------------------ */           
        while ( (p.right.key) != SkipListEntry.posInf &&
                (p.right.key).compareTo(k) <= 0 )
        {
           p = p.right;         // Move to right
        }

        /* ---------------------------------
           Go down one level if you can...
           --------------------------------- */
        if ( p.down != null )
        {  
           p = p.down;          // Go downwards
        }
        else
	{
           break;       // We reached the LOWEST level... Exit...
        }
     }

     return(p);         // Note: p.key <= k
  }

Note:

If the key k is found in the Skip List, findEntry(k) will return the reference to the entry containg the key k
If the key k is not found in the Skip List, findEntry(k) will return the reference to the floorEntry(k) entry containg a key that issmaller than k
Example: findEntry(42) will return the reference to 39:

Implementing the "get(Key k)" method

get(k):

  /** Returns the value associated with a key. */               

  public Integer get (String k)
  {
     SkipListEntry p;

     p = findEntry(k);

     if ( k.equals( p.key ) )
        return(p.value);
     else
        return(null);
  }

Put(k,v): inserting into a Skip List

Pseudo code for put(k,v):

    put(k, v)
    {
       SkipListEntry p;

       p = findEntry(k);

       if ( k.equals( p.key ) )    // Found !
       {
          p.value = v;             // Update the value
	  return;                  // Done
       }

       /* ==================================================
          Not found.

	  Then:   p == floorEntry(k) !!!
	  ================================================== */       

       (1) insert (k,v)  AFTER  p
       (2) make a column of (k,v) of RANDOM height
    }

Recall what happens when we insert a new entry:

Before insertion:

After inserting key 42:

Note:

As part of the insert operation, we will make a column (see figure above) for that key
The height of the column will be random...
(We have also seen how to use a random "trial" to generate a random height)

Step-by-step depictions of the steps necessary for insertion: put("42", ??)

Before the insertion:
Step 1: find the insert position p = findEntry(k)
Step 2: insert q after p:

Now make a column of random height: repeat these steps a random number of times

Starting at p, (using p to) scan left and find the first entry that has an up-entry:

Make p point to the up-element:
Create a new entry with the same key (we are making the "tower"):
Insert the newly created entry: right of p and up from q:
Make q point to the newly inserted entry (to continue the iteration if necessay)

I will repeat the steps and show the effect of building a "tower":

Starting at p, scan left and find the first entry that has an up-element:
Create a new entry (we are making another level of the "tower"):
Insert the newly created entry: right of p and up from q:
Make q point to the newly inserted entry (to continue the iteration if necessay)

(And so on)

Note:
If the height of the "tower" is = h:

we must add an new empty layer before we can insert another entry:

Adding a (empty) layer

Before we can do anything, We need to what are the changes in the Skip List when we add an empty layer to the Skip List:
Here is the Skip List before we add a new (empty) top layer:

Here is the Skip List before we add a new (empty) top layer:

Add layer algorithm:

   SkipListEntry p1, p2;

   /* -----------------------------
      Make the -oo and +oo entries
      ---------------------------- */
   p1 = new SkipListEntry(SkipListEntry.negInf, null);        
   p2 = new SkipListEntry(SkipListEntry.posInf, null);

   /* --------------------
      Link them
      -------------------- */
   p1.right = p2;
   p1.down  = head;

   p2.left = p1;
   p2.down = tail;

   head.up = p1;
   tail.up = p2;

   /* --------------------
      Update head and tail
      -------------------- */
   head = p1;
   tail = p2;

   h = h + 1;         // One more level...

The put() method

put(k,v) psuedo code:


     p = findEntry(k);         // Find insert location

     if ( entry found )
     {
        update the value in p;
	exit;
     }

     /* ----------------------------------
        Insert a brand new entry (k,v)

             p   put q here   
             |     |
             V     V
            [ ] <------> [ ]
	---------------------------------- */

      q = new Entry(k,v);            // Make new entry
      link q after p;

      /* ------------------------
         Make a random tower...
	 ------------------------ */
      while ( random() < 0.5 /* coin toss */ )
      {
         if ( height of tower >= h )
	 {
	    create a new TOP layer (see: click here)
         }

	 p = Find the first left element in the next level above;       

	 q = new Entry(k,v);
	 link q after p;
      }

The put() method for Skip List in Java:

  public Integer put (String k, Integer v)
  {
     SkipListEntry p, q;
     int       i;

     p = findEntry(k);                  // Try find the entry

     /* ------------------------
        Check if key is found
        ------------------------ */
     if ( k.equals(p.key) )  // If key found, update the value and we are done...
     {
        Integer old = p.value;         // Remember the old value

        p.value = v;                   // Update value

        return(old);		       // Return the old value
     }

     /* -------------------------------------------------------------
        Key k is not found, then p = floorEntry(k) (See: click here)

        The rest of the code will insert a new entry (k,v)
        ------------------------------------------------------------- */

     q = new SkipListEntry(k,v);       // Create a new entry with k and v   

     /* --------------------------------------------------------------
        Insert q into the lowest level after SkipListEntry p:

                         p   put q here           p        q
                         |     |                  |        |
		         V     V                  V        V        V

     q.left = p;
     q.right = p.right;
     p.right.left = q;
     p.right = q;

     /* -----------------------------------------------------

        {
           Create a new empty TOP layer (see: click here)
           (Put the code from above here.... I left it out for brevity)
        }

Deleting an entry from a Skip List

What you must do to the skip list to remove an entry:
Before deletinng the entry 25:

After deleting the entry 25:

(The whole column containing entries for 25 must be deleted !!!)

Step-by-step to accomplish: remove(25)

Before the deletion:
Step 1: locate the desired element (at the lowest level of the skip list):
While p != null, repeat these steps to remove the column:
Unlink the element at p (by making the left neighbor and the right neighbor pointing to each other)

Move p upward (prepare for loop)
Result of removal:

The Removal Algorithm

Psuedo code:

   p = findExntry(k);

   if (p.key != k)
     return(null);     // Not found, don't remove

   /* ------------------------------------------------------------
      We are at level 0
      Travel up the tower and link the left and right neighbors
      ------------------------------------------------------------ */        
   while ( p != null )
   {
      p.left.right = p.right;
      p.right.left = p.left;
   }

补充，jdk中有一个java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentSkipListMap，可以参考这个skiplist实现。
