dynamic array logic in python code example

Example 1: dynamic array logic in python

import ctypes
class DynamicArray(object):
   #Initialize it
   def __init__(self):
      #We'll have three attributes
      self.n = 0 # by default
      self.capacity = 1 # by default
      self.A = self.make_array(self.capacity) # make_array will be defined later
   #Length method
   def __len__(self):
      #It will return number of elements in the array
      return self.n
   def __getitem__(self, k):
      #it will return the elements at the index k
   if not 0 <=k <self.n:
      return IndexError('k is out of bounds')
   return self.A[k]
   def append(self, element):
   #checking the capacity
   if self.n == self.capacity:
      #double the capacity for the new array i.e
      self.resize(2*self.capacity) # _resize is the method that is defined later
   # set the n indexes of array A to elements
   self.A[self.n] = element
   self.n += 1
   def _resize(self, new_cap): #new_cap is for new capacity
   #declare array B
   B = self.make_array(new_cap)
   for k in range(self.n):
      B[k] = self.A[k] # referencing the elements from array A to B
      #ones refered then
   self.A = B # A is now the array B
   self.capacity = new_cap # resets the capacity
   #making the make-array method using ctypes
   def make_array(self,new_cap):
      return (new_cap * ctypes.py_object)()
arr = DynamicArray()

Example 2: dynamic array logic in python use

>>> len(arr)
0
>>> arr.append(1)
>>> #First item entered
>>> len(arr)
1
>>> arr.append('Tutorialspoint')
>>> #second item entered
>>> len(arr)
2
>>> arr[1]
'Tutorialspoint'
