51 | The <span class="bold"><strong>implementation</strong></span> of the <span class="bold"><strong>icl's</strong></span> | |
52 | containers is based on <span class="bold"><strong>std::set</strong></span> and <span class="bold"><strong>std::map</strong></span>. So the underlying data structure of interval | |
53 | containers is a red black tree of intervals or interval value pairs. The element | |
54 | containers <a href="http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/stl/set/" target="_top"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">set</span></code> | |
55 | </a> and <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/icl/map.html" title="Class template map">icl::map</a></code> are wrapper | |
56 | classes of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">set</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">map</span></code>. Interval | |
57 | containers are then using <a href="http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/stl/set/" target="_top"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">sets</span></code></a> | |
58 | of intervals or <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="../boost/icl/map.html" title="Class template map">icl::maps</a></code> of interval | |
59 | value pairs as implementing containers. So all the <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>complexity | |
60 | characteristics</strong></span></em></span> of icl containers are based on and limited | |
61 | by the <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>red-black tree implementation</strong></span></em></span> | |
62 | of the underlying std::AssociativeContainers. | |

69 | Throughout the documentation on complexity, big <span class="emphasis"><em>O</em></span> expressions | |
70 | like <span class="emphasis"><em>O(n)</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>O(m log n)</em></span> refer to | |
71 | container sizes <span class="emphasis"><em>n</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>m</em></span>. In this | |
72 | documentation these sizes <span class="emphasis"><em><span class="bold"><strong>do not</strong></span></em></span> | |
73 | denote to the familiar <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">size</span></code> | |
