Structuring Rhythm and Dynamics with Heaps: A Musical Priority Queue
Introduction Music is not just about notes and scales; it’s also about emphasis, intensity, and flow. Whether it’s the crescendo of a symphony, the groove in a drumline, or the pulse of electronic beats, rhythm and dynamics determine how a piece feels and moves. In coding, these elements can be likened to heaps, which organizeContinue reading “Structuring Rhythm and Dynamics with Heaps: A Musical Priority Queue”
Mapping Music with Hash Tables: Unlocking Patterns and Memory
Introduction In our exploration of data structures through music, we’ve covered linked lists, stacks and queues, trees, and graphs. Each post has drawn parallels between programming concepts and musical ideas, from scales and chords to improvisation paths. Now, let’s look at hash tables, a data structure that shines when it comes to quickly finding, storing,Continue reading “Mapping Music with Hash Tables: Unlocking Patterns and Memory”
