Package net.metanotion.util.skiplist Description

Skip list data structure implementation.

This package provides a skip list implementation, which is a probabilistic data structure that allows fast search, insertion, and deletion operations. Skip lists provide an alternative to balanced trees with similar performance characteristics but simpler implementation.

Features include:

• O(log n) average case performance
• Concurrent access support
• Memory-efficient implementation
• Thread-safe operations

The skip list is used in the address book for maintaining sorted collections of data with efficient lookup capabilities.
