  2. Comparison of programming languages (associative array)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    The keys and values can be of any type, except nil. The following focuses on non-numerical indexes. A table literal is written as { value, key = value, [index] = value, ["non id string"] = value }. For example:

  3. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    find the value (if any) that is bound to a given key. The argument to this operation is the key, and the value is returned from the operation. If no value is found, some lookup functions raise an exception, while others return a default value (such as zero, null, or a specific value passed to the constructor).

  4. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    A universal hashing scheme is a randomized algorithm that selects a hash function h among a family of such functions, in such a way that the probability of a collision of any two distinct keys is 1/m, where m is the number of distinct hash values desired—independently of the two keys. Universal hashing ensures (in a probabilistic sense) that ...

  5. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    C++11 includes unordered_map in its standard library for storing keys and values of arbitrary types. [51] Go's built-in map implements a hash table in the form of a type. [52] Java programming language includes the HashSet, HashMap, LinkedHashSet, and LinkedHashMap generic collections. [53] Python's built-in dict implements a hash table in the ...

  6. Distributed hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table

    Keys are unique identifiers which map to particular values, which in turn can be anything from addresses, to documents, to arbitrary data. [2] Responsibility for maintaining the mapping from keys to values is distributed among the nodes, in such a way that a change in the set of participants causes a minimal amount of disruption.

  7. Java ConcurrentMap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_ConcurrentMap

    For unordered access as defined in the java.util.Map interface, the java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap implements java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap. [2] The mechanism is a hash access to a hash table with lists of entries, each entry holding a key, a value, the hash, and a next reference.

  8. Open addressing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_addressing

    Hash collision resolved by linear probing (interval=1). Open addressing, or closed hashing, is a method of 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 ...

  9. Cuckoo hashing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckoo_hashing

    Cuckoo hashing is a form of open addressing in which each non-empty cell of a hash table contains a key or keyvalue pair.A hash function is used to determine the location for each key, and its presence in the table (or the value associated with it) can be found by examining that cell of the table.
