Interesting idea, although I don't know if it needs to be a primitive. The os.tree() function in #Python does this for file systems and, as a model, could be used as the basis for other kinds of tree structures. (Note that os.tree() also properly handles both top down and bottom up processing.)

Visualising data structures and algorithms through animation

visualgo.net/en

visualgo.netvisualising data structures and algorithms through animation - VisuAlgoVisuAlgo was conceptualised in 2011 by Dr Steven Halim as a tool to help his students better understand data structures and algorithms, by allowing them to learn the basics on their own and at their own pace. Together with his students from the National University of Singapore, a series of visualizations were developed and consolidated, from simple sorting algorithms to complex graph data structures. Though specifically designed for the use of NUS students taking various data structure and algorithm classes (CS1010/equivalent, CS2040/equivalent, CS3230, CS3233, and CS4234), as advocators of online learning, we hope that curious minds around the world will find these visualizations useful as well.

For $PROJECT I am wondering how sparse a bitmap needs to be before it's worth looking at alternatives.

Say I have a 32-bit random seed and it produces a tuple (x_1, x_2, ..., x_n) of attributes through some process we want to analyze. What I'd like is to build an index that lets me identify seed values with, say, x_1=4, or quickly intersect several indexes to find a seed value with x_1=4 and x_2 = 13 and x_3 = 5.

If the domain of x_i is small (say, 16 different values) then we could use a bunch of bitmaps -- they're only 512MiB each. Each bitmap will be only 6% populated, is that enough to consider a fancier representation that compresses the bitmap?

I've read "Searchable compressed representations of very sparse bitmaps" stevenpigeon.com/Publications/ but my feeling right now is this isn't a good fit.

There are a bunch of ideas of the form "index a collection of containers, which may be arrays or compressed arrays or bitmaps" which probably only work well when the set is not very evenly distributed.
