Function newSkipListNode

structure/zset.go:192–206

newSkipListNode is a function that takes integer as level, score and a string as key along with a value of any type. It returns a pointer to a SkipListNode. This function is responsible for creating a new SkipListNode with provided level, score, key, and value. After creating the node, it initialize

(level int, score int, key string, value interface{})

// key, and value. After creating the node, it initializes every level of the node with an empty SkipListLevel object.
// In the context of a skip list data structure, this function serves as a helper function for creating new nodes to be inserted to the list.
func newSkipListNode(level int, score int, key string, value interface{}) *SkipListNode {
	// Create a new SkipListNode with specified score, key, value and a slice of
	// SkipListLevel with length equal to specified level
	node := &SkipListNode{
		value: newSkipListNodeValue(score, key, value),
		level: make([]*SkipListLevel, level),
	}

	// Initialize each SkipListLevel in the level slice
	for i := range node.level {
		node.level[i] = new(SkipListLevel)
	}
	// Returning the pointer to the created node
	return node
}

// newSkipListNodeValue is a function that constructs and returns a new ZSetValue.
// It takes a score (int), a key (string), and a value (interface{}) as parameters.
