  2. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    Hash collision resolved by separate chaining Hash collision by separate chaining with head records in the bucket array. In separate chaining, the process involves building a linked list with key–value pair for each search array index. The collided items are chained together through a single linked list, which can be traversed to access the ...

  3. Coalesced hashing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalesced_hashing

    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 ...

  4. Hash collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_collision

    It is a similar idea to the separate chaining methods, although it does not technically involve the chained lists. In this case, instead of chained lists, the hash values are represented in a contiguous list of items. This is better suited for string hash tables and the use for numeric values is still unknown. [10]

  5. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    As such, hash tables usually perform in O(1) time, and usually outperform alternative implementations. Hash tables must be able to handle collisions: the mapping by the hash function of two different keys to the same bucket of the array. The two most widespread approaches to this problem are separate chaining and open addressing.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Linear probing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_probing

    Linear probing is a component of open addressing schemes for using a hash table to solve the dictionary problem.In the dictionary problem, a data structure should maintain a collection of key–value pairs subject to operations that insert or delete pairs from the collection or that search for the value associated with a given key.

  9. Lazy deletion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_deletion

    In computer science, lazy deletion refers to a method of deleting elements from a hash table that uses open addressing. In this method, deletions are done by marking an element as deleted, rather than erasing it entirely. Deleted locations are treated as empty when inserting and as occupied during a search.
