What are the performance benchmarks of different data structures?

What are the performance benchmarks of different data structures?

Performance benchmarks vary by data structure. For example, arrays have O(1) access time, while linked lists have O(n).

Can you explain the time complexity of searching in a binary search tree?

In a balanced binary search tree, the average time complexity for searching is O(log n), but it can degrade to O(n) if unbalanced.

How do hash tables compare to arrays in terms of performance?

Hash tables offer O(1) average time complexity for search, insert, and delete operations, while arrays require O(n) for these operations.

What about the space complexity of these data structures?

Arrays have O(n) space complexity, while linked lists also have O(n), but hash tables can have higher overhead due to storage for keys.
