  2. Weak reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_reference

    In computer programming, a weak reference is a reference that does not protect the referenced object from collection by a garbage collector, unlike a strong reference.An object referenced only by weak references – meaning "every chain of references that reaches the object includes at least one weak reference as a link" – is considered weakly reachable, and can be treated as unreachable and ...

  3. Go (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(programming_language)

    For a pair of types K, V, the type map[K]V is the type mapping type-K keys to type-V values, though Go Programming Language specification does not give any performance guarantees or implementation requirements for map types. Hash tables are built into the language, with special syntax and built-in functions.

  4. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    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.

  5. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    In computer science, an associative array, map, symbol table, or dictionary is an abstract data type that stores a collection of (key, value) pairs, such that each possible key appears at most once in the collection. In mathematical terms, an associative array is a function with finite domain. [1] It supports 'lookup', 'remove', and 'insert ...

  6. Priority queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priority_queue

    [25] [26] In addition, an atomic synchronization primitive, CAS, is used to make the skip list lock-free. The nodes of the skip list consists of a unique key, a priority, an array of pointers, for each level, to the next nodes and a delete mark. The delete mark marks if the node is about to be deleted by a process. This ensures that other ...

  7. Map (higher-order function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_(higher-order_function)

    Map functions can be and often are defined in terms of a fold such as foldr, which means one can do a map-fold fusion: foldr f z . map g is equivalent to foldr (f . g) z . The implementation of map above on singly linked lists is not tail-recursive , so it may build up a lot of frames on the stack when called with a large list.

  8. Delete key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delete_key

    Delete key on PC keyboard. The delete key (often abbreviated del) is a button on most computer keyboards which is typically used to delete either (in text mode) the character ahead of or beneath the cursor, or (in GUI mode) the currently-selected object. The key is sometimes referred to as the "forward delete" key.

  9. Linear probing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_probing

    A hash function is used to map each key into the cell of T where that key should be stored, typically scrambling the keys so that keys with similar values are not placed near each other in the table. A hash collision occurs when the hash function maps a key into a cell that is already occupied by a different key. Linear probing is a strategy ...
