Vector & List

Linear data structures.

C++

Rust

Java


vector<int> v = {5, 4, 3, 2, 1};
list<int> l = {10, 9, 8, 7, 6};

// sort the two
sort(v.begin(), v.end());
l.sort(); // use container specific sort

// print them out
copy(v.begin(), v.end(), ostream_iterator<int>(cout, ","));
copy(l.begin(), l.end(), ostream_iterator<int>(cout, ","));



let v = vec![5, 4, 3, 2, 1];
let mut l = LinkedList::new();

  l.push_back(10);
  l.push_back(9);
  l.push_back(8);
  l.push_back(7);
  l.push_back(6);

  // sort the two
  v.sort();
  // unfortunately there is no way
  // to directly sort a LinkedList

  // print them out
  for i in v.iter() {
      print!("{},", i);
  }

  for i in l.iter() {
      print!("{},", i);
  }



List<Integer> v =
    new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(5, 4, 3, 2, 1));
List<Integer> l =
    new LinkedList<>(Arrays.asList(10, 9, 8, 7, 6));

// sort the two
Collections.sort(v);
Collections.sort(l);

// print them out
for(Integer i : v) {
    System.out.print(i);
    System.out.print(',');
}

for(Integer i : l) {
    System.out.print(i);
    System.out.print(',');
}


C++11 added brace-initialization to the language and greatly simplified the initialization of conainters. Rust has this through a macro for Vec, but lacks it for LinkedList. Java does not provide any type of initialization. The easiest way is to leverage Arrays.asList().

Sorting is different across the board. In Java a generic algorithm is used to operate on the two containers. In C++ one container has a specialized method, while the other dose not. A generic algorithm can be used for both; however, it is always a good idea to use class methods when they are available. Rust has no way to sort a LinkedList
