Skip list

Skip list is a DSA topic. In plain words you use it for a short Skip list example in a short dry-run on paper. Don’t start with a slogan — start with that picture.

Smallest example: the smallest Skip list example you can type. Type it, run it, and say what you see. If you can do that from memory, you know Skip list.

From the example next to this theory — Skip list: dry-run [4, 1, 3].

Trap — only saying “Skip list” with no example. Fix that before you talk about advanced DSA.

Viva — what is Skip list? Then show the smallest Skip list example you can type. Then name the trap.

Exam tip

What is Skip list? Show this: the smallest Skip list example you can type. Trap: only saying “Skip list” with no example.

Example

# Skip list
data = [4, 1, 3]
print("start", data)
if data[0] > data[1]:
    data[0], data[1] = data[1], data[0]
print("after one step", data)

Skip list: dry-run [4, 1, 3]. Say the list after one step.
