Examples of commonly used data structures and algorithms in Swift.
This project provides a framework for commonly used data structures and algorithms written in a new iOS development language called Swift. While details of many algorithms exists on Wikipedia, these implementations are often written as pseudocode, or are expressed in C or C++. With Swift now officially released, its general syntax should be familiar enough for most programmers to understand.
As a developer, you should already be familiar with the basics of programming. Beyond algorithms, this project also aims to provide an alternative for learning the basics of Swift. This includes implementations of many Swift-specific features such as optionals, extensions, protocols and generics. Beyond Swift, audiences should be familiar with Singleton and Factory design patterns along with sets, arrays and dictionaries.
The project features code-level examples for the following items:
Now in its 4th edition and supporting Swift 4.2, the The Swift Algorithms Book features code and color illustrations that benefits students and professionals. As a collaborative open-source effort, I also welcome feedback and contribution from others.
//bfs traversal with inout closure function
func traverse(_ startingv: Vertex, formula: (_ node: inout Vertex) -> ()) {
//establish a new queue
let graphQueue: Queue<Vertex> = Queue<Vertex>()
//queue a starting vertex
graphQueue.enQueue(startingv)
while !graphQueue.isEmpty() {
//traverse the next queued vertex - Swift 4.0
//var vitem: Vertex! = graphQueue.deQueue()
//traverse the next queued vertex
guard var vitem = graphQueue.deQueue() else {
break
}
//add unvisited vertices to the queue
for e in vitem.neighbors {
if e.neighbor.visited == false {
print("adding vertex: \(e.neighbor.key) to queue..")
graphQueue.enQueue(e.neighbor)
}
}
//invoke formula
formula(&vitem)
} //end while
print("graph traversal complete..")
}
Swift Structures has been optimized for Swift 4.2 (e.g., Xcode 10.0) or later. The directories are organized as follows:
