Overview

Existing libraries cover non-standard operations or cover the operations partially on sorted arrays. This library is created to provide a wide range of operations on sorted arrays found in the standard libraries of major programming languages so that developers can get almost all (if not all) standard operations on sorted arrays in a library.

This library features:

• Language: Supports both JavaScript and TypeScript
• Module: Includes both CommonJS module and ES module

Installation

Yarn & npm

$ yarn add sorted-array-operations
$ npm install sorted-array-operations

Usage of all library functions

const ops = require('sorted-array-operations');

console.log(ops.union([2, 3, 5, 6], [2, 6, 8])); // [ 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 ]
console.log(ops.intersection([2, 3, 5, 6], [2, 6, 8])); // [ 2 ]
console.log(ops.difference([2, 3, 5, 6], [2, 6, 8])); // [ 3, 5 ]
console.log(ops.symmetric_difference([2, 3, 5, 6], [2, 6, 8])); // [ 3, 5, 8 ]
console.log(ops.merge([2, 3, 5, 6], [2, 6, 8])); // [ 2, 2, 3, 5, 6, 6, 8 ]

const arr1 = [2, 5, 3];
console.log(ops.inplace_merge(arr1, 2)); // arr1 becomes [ 2, 3, 5 ]

console.log(ops.includes([2, 3, 5, 6], [2, 6, 8])); // false

const arr2 = [2, 3, 5, 6];
console.log(ops.insert(arr2, 2)); // arr2 becomes [ 2, 2, 3, 5, 6 ]

const arr3 = [2, 3, 5, 6];
console.log(ops.remove(arr3, 2)); // Return true. arr3 becomes [ 3, 5, 6 ]
console.log(ops.binary_search([2, 3, 5, 6], 2)); // Return 0
console.log(ops.binary_search_ge([2, 3, 5, 6], 2)); // Return 0
console.log(ops.binary_search_gt([2, 3, 5, 6], 2)); // Return 1
console.log(ops.equal_range([2, 3, 5, 6], 2)); // Return [ 0, 1 ]

function weight_cmp(p1, p2) {
  return p1.weight > p2.weight ? 1 : p1.weight < p2.weight ? -1 : 0;
}

console.log(ops.union([{weight: 2}, {weight: 3}], [{weight: 3}], weight_cmp)); // [ {weight: 2}, {weight: 3} ]
console.log(ops.intersection([{weight: 2}, {weight: 3}], [{weight: 3}], weight_cmp)); // [ {weight: 3} ]
console.log(ops.difference([{weight: 2}, {weight: 3}], [{weight: 3}], weight_cmp)); // [ {weight: 2} ]
console.log(ops.symmetric_difference([{weight: 2}, {weight: 3}], [{weight: 3},{weight: 4}], weight_cmp)); // [ {weight: 2}, {weight: 4} ]
console.log(ops.merge([{weight: 2}, {weight: 3}], [{weight: 3}], weight_cmp)); // [ {weight: 2}, {weight: 3}, {weight: 3} ]

const arr4 = [{weight: 3}, {weight: 1}];
console.log(ops.inplace_merge(arr4, 1, weight_cmp)); // arr4 becomes [ {weight: 1}, {weight: 3} ]

console.log(ops.includes([{weight: 2}, {weight: 3}], [{weight: 3}], weight_cmp)); // true

const arr5 = [{weight: 3}];
console.log(ops.insert(arr5, {weight: 2}, weight_cmp)); // arr5 becomes [ {weight: 2}, {weight: 3} ]

const arr6 = [{weight: 3}];
console.log(ops.remove(arr6, {weight: 3}, weight_cmp)); // Return true. arr6 becomes [ ]
console.log(ops.binary_search([{weight: 2}, {weight: 3}], {weight: 2}, weight_cmp)); // Return 0
console.log(ops.binary_search_ge([{weight: 2}, {weight: 3}], {weight: 2}, weight_cmp)); // Return 0
console.log(ops.binary_search_gt([{weight: 2}, {weight: 3}], {weight: 2}, weight_cmp)); // Return 1
console.log(ops.equal_range([{weight: 2}, {weight: 3}], {weight: 2}, weight_cmp)); // Return [ 0, 1 ]

Related libraries

The library most similar to this library is sorted-array-functions. This library has the set operations on sorted arrays and follows the way of implementing lower_bound and upper_bound in the standard libraries in C++ and Python. These 2 differences are the major differences between this library and sorted-array-functions. Other related libraries can be found in Google.
