Implement Insert Delete GetRandom O(1) in Python

Build a RandomizedSet class that supports insert, delete, and get_random in average O(1) time using a list and a dictionary mapping values to indices.

Python
import random

class RandomizedSet:
    def __init__(self):
        self.values = []
        self.index_map = {}

    def insert(self, val):
        if val in self.index_map:

        self.index_map[val] = len(self.values)
        self.values.append(val)

Implement an Out-of-Order Sort Buffer with a Heap in Python

Buffers out-of-order indices from a stream and emits them in sorted order using a min-heap with a sliding window.

heapq sorting streaming
Python
import heapq
from collections import deque


class OutOfOrderSorter:
    def __init__(self, buffer_size):
        self.buffer_size = buffer_size
        self.buffer = deque(maxlen=buffer_size)
        self.heap = []
        self.next_expected_index = 0
        self.result = []

Copy-ready Python snippets for learners and developers

PythonSkillset code samples are short, focused examples organised by topic and difficulty. Every snippet is server-rendered HTML — readable by search engines and easy to copy. Open any sample, read the notes, copy the code, then press Try in editor to run it in the browser with Pyodide.

How to use this library

  1. Pick a topic section — strings, lists, files, functions, and more
  2. Open a sample, read How it works, and copy the code block
  3. Run it in the IDE, tweak values, then take a related quiz or tutorial lesson

Samples vs tutorials and challenges

Samples are quick reference — one concept per page. For step-by-step teaching, use our Python tutorials. To test yourself, try quizzes or coding challenges. Clean up style with the Python formatter.
