    A further characteristic is the fact that Common Lisp hash tables do not, as opposed to association lists, maintain the order of entry insertion. Common Lisp hash tables are constructed via the make-hash-table function, whose arguments encompass, among other configurations, a predicate to test the entry key.

  3. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    An associative array stores a set of (key, value) pairs and allows insertion, deletion, and lookup (search), with the constraint of unique keys. In the hash table implementation of associative arrays, an array A {\displaystyle A} of length m {\displaystyle m} is partially filled with n {\displaystyle n} elements, where m ≥ n {\displaystyle m ...

    Thus, traversing its elements follows a least-to-greatest pattern, whereas traversing a hash table can result in elements being in seemingly random order. Because they are in order, tree-based maps can also satisfy range queries (find all values between two bounds) whereas a hashmap can only find exact values.

  5. Heap (data structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap_(data_structure)

    Example of a binary max-heap with node keys being integers between 1 and 100. In computer science, a heap is a tree-based data structure that satisfies the heap property: In a max heap, for any given node C, if P is the parent node of C, then the key (the value) of P is greater than or equal to the key of C.

    [Notes 4] If follows that the corresponding hash function will map keys with fewer than t bits in common to unique indices. [3]: 542–543 The usual outcome is that either n will get large, or t will get large, or both, for the scheme to be computationally feasible. Therefore, it is more suited to hardware or microcode implementation.

  7. Cuckoo hashing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckoo_hashing

    Insertion of a new item in the location of H would not succeed: Since H is part of a cycle (together with W), the new item would get kicked out again. Cuckoo hashing is a scheme in computer programming for resolving hash collisions of values of hash functions in a table , with worst-case constant lookup time.

  8. Database storage structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_storage_structures

    Ordered storage typically stores the records in order and may have to rearrange or increase the file size when a new record is inserted, resulting in lower insertion efficiency. However, ordered storage provides more efficient retrieval as the records are pre-sorted, resulting in a complexity of O ( log ⁡ n ) {\displaystyle O\left(\log n ...

  9. Perfect hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_hash_function

    A minimal perfect hash function F is order preserving if keys are given in some order a 1, a 2, ..., a n and for any keys a j and a k, j < k implies F(a j) < F(a k). [9] In this case, the function value is just the position of each key in the sorted ordering of all of the keys.
