Description : A skip list implementation in Go
This is a library implementing skip lists for the Go programming
language (http://golang.org/).
.
Skip lists are a data structure that can be used in place of balanced
trees. Skip lists use probabilistic balancing rather than strictly
enforced balancing and as a result the algorithms for insertion and
deletion in skip lists are much simpler and significantly faster than
equivalent algorithms for balanced trees.
.
Skip lists were first described in Pugh, William (June 1990)
(ftp://ftp.cs.umd.edu/pub/skipLists/skiplists.pdf). "Skip lists:
a probabilistic alternative to balanced trees". Communications of the
ACM 33 (6): 668–676
This is a required dependency for golang-github-anacrolix-dms-dev
(ITP#928372) via golang-github-anacrolix-missinggo (ITP#929146).
To be maintained under the Debian Go Team.
