PS06: Designing a set

Complete the implementation of the Set data structure without using built-in set or dict.

The Set class must expose the following methods.

• Set() constructor that takes no arguments.
• add(k) inserts value k into the set.
• contains(k) returns a boolean indicating whether k is part of the set or not.
• remove(k) removes the value k from the set if exist, else do nothing.

Remember that set operations must be efficient in space and time and that sets don't contain duplicates.

The following is a usage example of the Set class:

data = Set()
data.add(1)
data.add(2)
data.add(3)
data.contains(4)  # Returns False
data.contains(1)  # Returns True
data.add(4)
data.contains(4)  # Returns True
data.remove(6)  # Does nothing
data.contains(2)  # Returns True
data.remove(2)
data.contains(2)  # Returns False (previously deleted)

Constraints

Your set is expected to:

• Support up to 10^5 operations
• Store integers values in the range [0, 10^9]

How to submit.

• Implement the methods listed above under solution.py.
• All code will be checked for readability using pylint.
• A grader is included, and all test cases must pass.
• DO NOT modify the grader!
• DO NOT use built-in set or dict!

Debugging

• You can run the grader with the command python3 grader.py < test_cases/a.txt where a is the test case you want to run.
• Yo can run all test cases with the command: for f in test_cases/*.txt; do python3 grader.py < "$f"; done
