Fastruktúrák

Fastruktúrák, also known as fast structures, are a type of data structure used in computer science to optimize the performance of certain operations. They are designed to provide quick access to data, often at the cost of increased memory usage. Fastruktúrák are particularly useful in scenarios where the data set is large and the operations are frequent and time-sensitive.

One of the most well-known fastruktúrák is the hash table. Hash tables use a hash function to map keys to indices in an array, allowing for average-case constant time complexity for insertions, deletions, and lookups. However, hash tables can suffer from collisions, where multiple keys hash to the same index, which can degrade performance.

Another example of a fastruktúra is the balanced tree, such as an AVL tree or a red-black tree. These trees maintain a balanced structure to ensure that operations like insertion, deletion, and lookup have logarithmic time complexity. The balancing process involves rotations and color changes in the case of red-black trees, which helps maintain the tree's height and thus its performance.

Fastruktúrák are also used in databases and file systems to improve the efficiency of data retrieval. For instance, B-trees and B+ trees are commonly used in database indexing to allow for efficient range queries and sequential access.

The choice of fastruktúra depends on the specific requirements of the application, including the types of operations that will be performed, the size of the data set, and the available memory. In some cases, a combination of fastruktúrák may be used to optimize different aspects of performance.
