1.3 Array Operations | Deletion from Array | Explanation with Code | Data Structure
Jenny's Lectures CS IT・14 minutes read
Understanding the deletion process in arrays involves shifting elements and reducing size, with time complexity varying based on the position, with constant time possible for unsorted arrays. The example discussed illustrates this process, emphasizing code writing and index value manipulation for accurate shifting.
Insights
- Understanding the deletion process involves shifting elements and reducing the size of an array by one, achieved through incrementing and decrementing index values.
- Deletion operations on arrays can have varying time complexities, with constant time possible for unsorted arrays, a concept illustrated through code writing and discussion in the provided example.
