Arrays use contiguous memory seats. Deep dive into O(1) Access formula, CPU Cache Locality, Buffer Overflow security risks, and Dynamic Array resizing logic.
Why does my server crash? OS's desperate struggle to manage limited memory. War against Fragmentation.
Two ways to escape a maze. Spread out wide (BFS) or dig deep (DFS)? Who finds the shortest path?
A comprehensive deep dive into client-side storage. From Cookies to IndexedDB and the Cache API. We explore security best practices for JWT storage (XSS vs CSRF), performance implications of synchronous APIs, and how to build offline-first applications using Service Workers.
Fast by name. Partitioning around a Pivot. Why is it the standard library choice despite O(N²) worst case?
| Feature | Rating | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Access | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | O(1). Instant Math. |
| Search | ⭐⭐⭐ | O(N) linear scan (unless sorted, then O(log N)). |
| Insert | ⭐ | O(N). Requires shifting everyone. |
| Delete | ⭐ | O(N). Requires shifting back. |
| Cache | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | CPU Loves it. Spatial Locality. |
| Memory | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Minimal overhead (no pointers), but fixed size waste. |
