  2. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    A small phone book as a hash table. In computer science, a hash table is a data structure that implements an associative array, also called a dictionary or simply map; an associative array is an abstract data type that maps keys to values. [2]

  3. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    A necessary adjunct to the hash function is a collision-resolution method that employs an auxiliary data structure like linked lists, or systematic probing of the table to find an empty slot. Hash tables

  4. Data structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure

    A data structure known as a hash table.. In computer science, a data structure is a data organization and storage format that is usually chosen for efficient access to data. [1] [2] [3] More precisely, a data structure is a collection of data values, the relationships among them, and the functions or operations that can be applied to the data, [4] i.e., it is an algebraic structure about data.

  5. 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.

  7. Level set (data structures) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_set_(data_structures)

    The Hash Table Local Level Set method, introduced in 2011 by Eyiyurekli and Breen [13] and extended in 2012 by Brun, Guittet and Gibou, [14] only computes the level set data in a band around the interface, as in the Narrow Band Level-Set Method, but also only stores the data in that same band. A hash table data structure is used, which provides ...

  8. Hash collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_collision

    John Smith and Sandra Dee share the same hash value of 02, causing a hash collision. In computer science, a hash collision or hash clash [1] is when two distinct pieces of data in a hash table share the same hash value. The hash value in this case is derived from a hash function which takes a data input and returns a fixed length of bits. [2]

  9. Perfect hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_hash_function

    Perfect hash functions may be used to implement a lookup table with constant worst-case access time. A perfect hash function can, as any hash function, be used to implement hash tables, with the advantage that no collision resolution has to be implemented. In addition, if the keys are not in the data and if it is known that queried keys will be ...
