Expand description

An ordered map based on a B-Tree.

B-Trees represent a fundamental compromise between cache-efficiency and actually minimizing the amount of work performed in a search. In theory, a binary search tree (BST) is the optimal choice for a sorted map, as a perfectly balanced BST performs the theoretical minimum amount of comparisons necessary to find an element (log2n). However, in practice the way this is done is very inefficient for modern computer architectures. In particular, every element is stored in its own individually heap-allocated node. This means that every single insertion triggers a heap-allocation, and every single comparison should be a cache-miss. Since these are both notably expensive things to do in practice, we are forced to, at the very least, reconsider the BST strategy.

A B-Tree instead makes each node contain B-1 to 2B-1 elements in a contiguous array. By doing this, we reduce the number of allocations by a factor of B, and improve cache efficiency in searches. However, this does mean that searches will have to do more comparisons on average. The precise number of comparisons depends on the node search strategy used. For optimal cache efficiency, one could search the nodes linearly. For optimal comparisons, one could search the node using binary search. As a compromise, one could also perform a linear search that initially only checks every ith element for some choice of i.

Currently, our implementation simply performs naive linear search. This provides excellent performance on small nodes of elements which are cheap to compare. However in the future we would like to further explore choosing the optimal search strategy based on the choice of B, and possibly other factors. Using linear search, searching for a random element is expected to take B * log(n) comparisons, which is generally worse than a BST. In practice, however, performance is excellent.

It is a logic error for a key to be modified in such a way that the key’s ordering relative to any other key, as determined by the Ord trait, changes while it is in the map. This is normally only possible through Cell, RefCell, global state, I/O, or unsafe code. The behavior resulting from such a logic error is not specified, but will be encapsulated to the BTreeMap that observed the logic error and not result in undefined behavior. This could include panics, incorrect results, aborts, memory leaks, and non-termination.

Iterators obtained from functions such as BTreeMap::iter, BTreeMap::values, or BTreeMap::keys produce their items in order by key, and take worst-case logarithmic and amortized constant time per item returned.

Examples

use std::collections::BTreeMap;

// type inference lets us omit an explicit type signature (which
// would be `BTreeMap<&str, &str>` in this example).
let mut movie_reviews = BTreeMap::new();

// review some movies.
movie_reviews.insert("Office Space",       "Deals with real issues in the workplace.");
movie_reviews.insert("Pulp Fiction",       "Masterpiece.");
movie_reviews.insert("The Godfather",      "Very enjoyable.");
movie_reviews.insert("The Blues Brothers", "Eye lyked it a lot.");

// check for a specific one.
if !movie_reviews.contains_key("Les Misérables") {
    println!("We've got {} reviews, but Les Misérables ain't one.",
             movie_reviews.len());
}

// oops, this review has a lot of spelling mistakes, let's delete it.
movie_reviews.remove("The Blues Brothers");

// look up the values associated with some keys.
let to_find = ["Up!", "Office Space"];
for movie in &to_find {
    match movie_reviews.get(movie) {
       Some(review) => println!("{movie}: {review}"),
       None => println!("{movie} is unreviewed.")
    }
}

// Look up the value for a key (will panic if the key is not found).
println!("Movie review: {}", movie_reviews["Office Space"]);

// iterate over everything.
for (movie, review) in &movie_reviews {
    println!("{movie}: \"{review}\"");
}
Run

A BTreeMap with a known list of items can be initialized from an array:

use std::collections::BTreeMap;

let solar_distance = BTreeMap::from([
    ("Mercury", 0.4),
    ("Venus", 0.7),
    ("Earth", 1.0),
    ("Mars", 1.5),
]);
Run

BTreeMap implements an Entry API, which allows for complex methods of getting, setting, updating and removing keys and their values:

use std::collections::BTreeMap;

// type inference lets us omit an explicit type signature (which
// would be `BTreeMap<&str, u8>` in this example).
let mut player_stats = BTreeMap::new();

fn random_stat_buff() -> u8 {
    // could actually return some random value here - let's just return
    // some fixed value for now
    42
}

// insert a key only if it doesn't already exist
player_stats.entry("health").or_insert(100);

// insert a key using a function that provides a new value only if it
// doesn't already exist
player_stats.entry("defence").or_insert_with(random_stat_buff);

// update a key, guarding against the key possibly not being set
let stat = player_stats.entry("attack").or_insert(100);
*stat += random_stat_buff();

// modify an entry before an insert with in-place mutation
player_stats.entry("mana").and_modify(|mana| *mana += 200).or_insert(100);
Run

Run

Retains only the elements specified by the predicate.

In other words, remove all pairs (k, v) for which f(&k, &mut v) returns false. The elements are visited in ascending key order.

Examples
use std::collections::BTreeMap;

let mut map: BTreeMap<i32, i32> = (0..8).map(|x| (x, x*10)).collect();
// Keep only the elements with even-numbered keys.
map.retain(|&k, _| k % 2 == 0);
assert!(map.into_iter().eq(vec![(0, 0), (2, 20), (4, 40), (6, 60)]));
Run

Moves all elements from other into self, leaving other empty.

If a key from other is already present in self, the respective value from self will be overwritten with the respective value from other.

Examples
use std::collections::BTreeMap;

let mut a = BTreeMap::new();
a.insert(1, "a");
a.insert(2, "b");
a.insert(3, "c"); // Note: Key (3) also present in b.

let mut b = BTreeMap::new();
b.insert(3, "d"); // Note: Key (3) also present in a.
b.insert(4, "e");
b.insert(5, "f");

a.append(&mut b);

assert_eq!(a.len(), 5);
assert_eq!(b.len(), 0);

assert_eq!(a[&1], "a");
assert_eq!(a[&2], "b");
assert_eq!(a[&3], "d"); // Note: "c" has been overwritten.
assert_eq!(a[&4], "e");
assert_eq!(a[&5], "f");
Run

Constructs a double-ended iterator over a sub-range of elements in the map. The simplest way is to use the range syntax min..max, thus range(min..max) will yield elements from min (inclusive) to max (exclusive). The range may also be entered as (Bound<T>, Bound<T>), so for example range((Excluded(4), Included(10))) will yield a left-exclusive, right-inclusive range from 4 to 10.

Panics

Panics if range start > end. Panics if range start == end and both bounds are Excluded.

Examples

Basic usage:

use std::collections::BTreeMap;
use std::ops::Bound::Included;

let mut map = BTreeMap::new();
map.insert(3, "a");
map.insert(5, "b");
map.insert(8, "c");
for (&key, &value) in map.range((Included(&4), Included(&8))) {
    println!("{key}: {value}");
}
assert_eq!(Some((&5, &"b")), map.range(4..).next());

}
for (name, balance) in &map {
    println!("{name} => {balance}");
}
Run

Gets the given key’s corresponding entry in the map for in-place manipulation.

Examples

Basic usage:

use std::collections::BTreeMap;

let mut count: BTreeMap<&str, usize> = BTreeMap::new();

// count the number of occurrences of letters in the vec
for x in ["a", "b", "a", "c", "a", "b"] {
    count.entry(x).and_modify(|curr| *curr += 1).or_insert(1);
}

assert_eq!(count["a"], 3);
assert_eq!(count["b"], 2);
assert_eq!(count["c"], 1);
Run

Splits the collection into two at the given key. Returns everything after the given key, including the key.

assert_eq!(a[&1], "a");
assert_eq!(a[&2], "b");

assert_eq!(b[&3], "c");
assert_eq!(b[&17], "d");
assert_eq!(b[&41], "e");
Run
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (btree_drain_filter #70530)

Creates an iterator that visits all elements (key-value pairs) in ascending key order and uses a closure to determine if an element should be removed. If the closure returns true, the element is removed from the map and yielded. If the closure returns false, or panics, the element remains in the map and will not be yielded.

The iterator also lets you mutate the value of each element in the closure, regardless of whether you choose to keep or remove it.

If the iterator is only partially consumed or not consumed at all, each of the remaining elements is still subjected to the closure, which may change its value and, by returning true, have the element removed and dropped.

It is unspecified how many more elements will be subjected to the closure if a panic occurs in the closure, or a panic occurs while dropping an element, or if the DrainFilter value is leaked.

Examples

Splitting a map into even and odd keys, reusing the original map:

let odds = map;
assert_eq!(evens.keys().copied().collect::<Vec<_>>(), [0, 2, 4, 6]);
assert_eq!(odds.keys().copied().collect::<Vec<_>>(), [1, 3, 5, 7]);
Run
