You can find the kth smallest key in a map by first obtaining an array of the map's keys using the keys()
method. Then, you can sort this array in ascending order using the sort()
method. Finally, you can access the kth element in the sorted array to obtain the kth smallest key.
Here is an example implementation of the algorithm:
index.ts222 chars6 lines
Note that accessing the kth element assumes that k
is a valid index in the sorted keys
array. You may want to add additional validation to ensure that k
is within the bounds of the array.
Alternatively, you can implement a binary search algorithm to find the kth smallest key in logarithmic time complexity:
index.ts465 chars21 lines
This implementation uses a binary search algorithm to find the kth smallest key in logarithmic time complexity.
