Coalesced Hashing
Coalesced hashing, also called coalesced chaining, is a strategy of collision resolution in a hash table that forms a hybrid of separate chaining and open addressing Open addressing, or closed hashing, is a method of Hash table#Collision resolution, collision resolution in hash tables. With this method a hash collision is resolved by probing, or searching through alternative locations in the array (the ''prob .... Separate chaining hash table In a separate chaining hash table, items that hash to the same address are placed on a list (or "chain") at that address. This technique can result in a great deal of wasted memory because the table itself must be large enough to maintain a load factor that performs well (typically twice the expected number of items), and extra memory must be used for all but the first item in a chain (unless list headers are used, in which case extra memory must be used for all items in a chain). Example Given a sequence "qrj," "aty," "qur," "dim," ...

Hash Table
In computer science, a hash table is a data structure that implements an associative array, also called a dictionary or simply map; an associative array is an abstract data type that maps Unique key, keys to Value (computer science), values. A hash table uses a hash function to compute an ''index'', also called a ''hash code'', into an array of ''buckets'' or ''slots'', from which the desired value can be found. During lookup, the key is hashed and the resulting hash indicates where the corresponding value is stored. A map implemented by a hash table is called a hash map. Most hash table designs employ an Perfect hash function, imperfect hash function. Hash collision, Hash collisions, where the hash function generates the same index for more than one key, therefore typically must be accommodated in some way. In a well-dimensioned hash table, the average time complexity for each lookup is independent of the number of elements stored in the table. Many hash table designs also ...

Open Addressing
Open addressing, or closed hashing, is a method of Hash table#Collision resolution, collision resolution in hash tables. With this method a hash collision is resolved by probing, or searching through alternative locations in the array (the ''probe sequence'') until either the target record is found, or an unused array slot is found, which indicates that there is no such key in the table. Well-known probe sequences include: ; Linear probing : in which the interval between probes is fixed — often set to 1. ; Quadratic probing : in which the interval between probes increases linearly (hence, the indices are described by a quadratic function). ; Double hashing : in which the interval between probes is fixed for each record but is computed by another hash function. The main trade offs between these methods are that linear probing has the best Locality of reference, cache performance but is most sensitive to Primary clustering, clustering, while double hashing has poor cache perf ...

Jenkins Hash Function
The Jenkins hash functions are a family of non-cryptographic hash functions for multi-byte keys designed by Bob Jenkins. The first one was formally published in 1997. The hash functions one_at_a_time Jenkins's one_at_a_time hash is adapted here from a WWW page by Bob Jenkins, which is an expanded version of his '' Dr. Dobb's'' article. It was originally created to fulfill certain requirements described by Colin Plumb, a cryptographer, but was ultimately not put to use. uint32_t jenkins_one_at_a_time_hash(const uint8_t* key, size_t length) Sample hash values for one_at_a_time hash function. one_at_a_time("a", 1) 0xca2e9442 one_at_a_time("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", 43) 0x519e91f5 The avalanche behavior of this hash is shown on the right. Each of the 24 rows corresponds to a single bit in the 3-byte input key, and each of the 32 columns corresponds to a bit in the output hash. Colors are chosen by how well the input key bit affects the given output hash ...

C (programming Language)
C (''pronounced'' '' – like the letter c'') is a general-purpose programming language. It was created in the 1970s by Dennis Ritchie and remains very widely used and influential. By design, C's features cleanly reflect the capabilities of the targeted Central processing unit, CPUs. It has found lasting use in operating systems code (especially in Kernel (operating system), kernels), device drivers, and protocol stacks, but its use in application software has been decreasing. C is commonly used on computer architectures that range from the largest supercomputers to the smallest microcontrollers and embedded systems. A successor to the programming language B (programming language), B, C was originally developed at Bell Labs by Ritchie between 1972 and 1973 to construct utilities running on Unix. It was applied to re-implementing the kernel of the Unix operating system. During the 1980s, C gradually gained popularity. It has become one of the most widely used programming langu ...
