  2. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    For example, one could define a dictionary having a string "toast" mapped to the integer 42 or vice versa. The keys in a dictionary must be of an immutable Python type, such as an integer or a string, because under the hood they are implemented via a hash function. This makes for much faster lookup times, but requires keys not change.

  3. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    Any existing mapping is overwritten. The arguments to this operation are the key and the value. Remove or delete remove a (,) pair from the collection, unmapping a given key from its value. The argument to this operation is the key. Lookup, find, or get find the value (if any) that is bound to a given key.

  4. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    Hashing is an example of a space-time tradeoff. If memory is infinite, the entire key can be used directly as an index to locate its value with a single memory access. On the other hand, if infinite time is available, values can be stored without regard for their keys, and a binary search or linear search can be used to retrieve the element.

  5. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

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

    In Python, == compares by value. Python's is operator may be used to compare object identities (comparison by reference), and comparisons may be chained—for example, a <= b <= c. Python uses and, or, and not as Boolean operators. Python has a type of expression named a list comprehension, and a more general expression named a generator ...

  6. List of dictionaries by number of words - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dictionaries_by...

    [1] [2] In compiling a dictionary, a lexicographer decides whether the evidence of use is sufficient to justify an entry in the dictionary. This decision is not the same as determining whether the word exists. [citation needed] The green background means a given dictionary is the largest in a given language.

  7. Lexicographic order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicographic_order

    In mathematics, the lexicographic or lexicographical order (also known as lexical order, or dictionary order) is a generalization of the alphabetical order of the dictionaries to sequences of ordered symbols or, more generally, of elements of a totally ordered set. There are several variants and generalizations of the lexicographical ordering.

  8. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    If, for example, the output is constrained to 32-bit integer values, then the hash values can be used to index into an array. Such hashing is commonly used to accelerate data searches. [ 10 ] Producing fixed-length output from variable-length input can be accomplished by breaking the input data into chunks of specific size.

  9. Graph database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_database

    A graph database (GDB) is a database that uses graph structures for semantic queries with nodes, edges, and properties to represent and store data. [1] A key concept of the system is the graph (or edge or relationship).
