Suppose we have inserted $N$ items into a table of size hSize. So there is a very direct tradeoff here between memory use (table size) and speed. ![]() Of course, if we increased the table size, we would hope that the data elements would be dispersed across the larger table, making the average list length shorter. You might take note that, as the chains grow longer, the search times become more “sequential search” like. You can run these algorithms to see them in action. 1.1.4 Removing from the SetĪnd erase follows pretty much the same pattern. We use bucket() to find the list, then search the list for the element we want to insert. void insert (const T& element)įind_if(theBucket.begin(), theBucket.end(), Then we search the list for an item equal to element. int count (const T& element) constĬonst Container& theBucket = bucket(element) įirst we use bucket() to find the list where this element would be. There is a similar bind2nd function that works on the second parameter of a two-parameter function. ![]() The functor compare is the comparison functor supplied to the hash_set template (defaults to equal_to, so bind1st(compare,element) is a functor that takes a single parameter and returns true if that parameter is equal to element. In this case, I have used bind1st because find_if uses a single-parameter functor or function as the test to determine when an appropriate item has been found. Given a functor foo that takes two parameters, e.g., foo(x,y), bind1st(foo,w) creates a single-parameter functor equivalent to calling foo with w for the first parameter. The bind1st function is rather interesting. Typical choices for this container would be a linked list (which is where the term “chaining” actually comes from) or a tree-based set.Īlthough these containers are variable size, some people still call them “buckets”. So instead, we’ll look at separate chaining, in which the hash table is implemented as an array of variable sized containers that can hold however many elements that have actually collided at that location. The problem with this is that if we get more than k collisions at the same location, we still need to fall back to some other scheme. Historically, one of the most common approaches to dealing with collisions has been to use fixed size buckets, e.g., an array that can hold up to k (some small constant) elements. Open Hashing: The hash table performs as an “index” to a set of structures that hold multiple items.Ĭlosed Hashing: The keys are stored in the table itself, so we have to search for an open slot within the table. They’re not perfect, so we can expect collisions. ![]()
