algorithm - Find keys of the 3 largest values in a Javascript Object with O(n) complexity? -


say have object such as:

let objtocheck = {   a: 2,    b: 5,   c: 9,   d: 33,   e: 4,   f: 8,   g: 3,   h: 10 };

how go returning keys of 3 largest values in ascending order, in case be: [ 'c', 'h', 'd' ], in linear time? evidently need loop through entire object once compare values, i'm having troubling coming solution doesn't involve nested loops believe o(n²). here solution looks far:

function findbig3(obj){   const res = [];   const largest = object.values(obj).sort((a,b) => {return b-a}).slice(0,3);    (let key in obj){     largest.foreach( (val) => {       if (obj[key] === val) res.push(key);     });   }   return res; }

i imagine need declare 3 variables, such big1, big2, big3, , loop through object type of comparison check , reassign appropriate, i'm struggling implementation.

this algorithm runs in o(n).

function getthreelargestkeys(obj){     var k1, k2, k3;     var v1, v2, v3;     v1 = v2 = v3 = -infinity;      // o(1)     var insertkey = function(key){         var value = obj[key];  // note 1          // note 2         if(value >= v1){             v3 = v2; v2 = v1; v1 = value;             k3 = k2; k2 = k1; k1 = key;         }else if(value >= v2){             v3 = v2; v2 = value;             k3 = k2; k2 = key;         }else if(value >= v3){             v3 = value;             k3 = key;         }     };      // o(n)     for(var key in obj){         // note 3         insertkey(key);     }      return [k1, k2, k3]; }

please not copy-paste code right homework solution. rewrite code once understand it.

note:

  1. this assumes object lookup o(1). depends on how implemented in interpreter, lower o(log n).
  2. these conditionals can optimized. leave practice reader.
  3. normally should check if key owned object instance, here assume input object not inherited object.prototype.

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj...

performance - Why is XCHG reg, reg a 3 micro-op instruction on modern Intel architectures? -

i'm doing micro-optimization on performance critical part of code , came across sequence of instructions (in at&t syntax): add %rax, %rbx mov %rdx, %rax mov %rbx, %rdx i thought had use case xchg allow me shave instruction , write: add %rbx, %rax xchg %rax, %rdx however, dimay found agner fog's instruction tables , xchg 3 micro-op instruction 2 cycle latency on sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell, haswell , skylake. 3 whole micro-ops , 2 cycles of latency! 3 micro-ops throws off 4-1-1-1 cadence , 2 cycle latency makes worse original in best case since last 2 instructions in original might execute in parallel. now... cpu might breaking instruction micro-ops equivalent to: mov %rax, %tmp mov %rdx, %rax mov %tmp, %rdx where tmp anonymous internal register , suppose last 2 micro-ops run in parallel latency 2 cycles. given register renaming occurs on these micro-architectures, though, doesn't make sense me done way. why wouldn't register renamer ...
