B-Tree Insert and In-Order Traversal in Python
Simulates a B-tree (order 2) with insert and split logic, then prints keys in sorted order via in-order traversal.
class BTreeNode:
def __init__(self, leaf=False):
self.leaf = leaf
self.keys = []
self.children = []
def is_full(self, t):
return len(self.keys) == 2 * t - 1
class BTree:
def __init__(self, t=2):
self.t = t
self.root = BTreeNode(leaf=True)
def insert(s…
How to Simulate a Stable Sort Cursor in Python
Build a MongoDB-style cursor mock that stably sorts records by a key while preserving original order for ties, with next() and rewind() methods.
```python
import random
class CursorStableSortMock:
"""Simulates stable sorting with a cursor-like pointer for MongoDB-style queries."""
def __init__(self, data, sort_key, reverse=False):
self.data = list(data)
self.sort_key = sort_key
self.reverse = reverse
self._index = …
Mock CQRS Read/Write Split in Python
Separate order mutations from queries using a read model and write model to mock CQRS-style separation of concerns.
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from typing import List, Dict
@dataclass
class Order:
id: int
amount: float
status: str = "pending"
class OrderWriteModel:
"""Handles all mutations (writes) to orders."""
def __init__(self):
self._orders: Dict[int, Order] = {}
self._next…
UUID vs sequential primary key in Python
Simulate and compare UUID vs sequential primary key generation in Python to understand trade-offs in ordering and uniqueness.
import uuid
import time
def create_record_with_uuid(name):
record_id = uuid.uuid4()
return {"id": record_id, "name": name}
def create_record_with_sequential_id(name, counter):
counter += 1
return {"id": counter, "name": name}
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Simulate users inserting records
