Template
Select an algorithm for this problem: {problem_statement} with constraints: {data_constraints}. Step 1: Formalize the problem: input size bounds, operation frequency, and whether the workload is read-heavy, write-heavy, or mixed. Step 2: List candidate algorithms and data structures, with time and space complexity for each relevant operation. Step 3: Evaluate candidates against the actual constraints from step 1, not asymptotic behavior alone: constant factors, cache behavior, and implementation complexity matter at the stated sizes. Step 4: Select the winner and justify why simpler alternatives are insufficient, or choose the simpler one if the constraints permit. Step 5: Implement it with complexity documented and a benchmark harness for the stated input sizes.
