  2. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    A hash function is said to be perfect for a given set if it is injective on , that is, if ... Python's built-in dict implements a hash table in the form of a type.

  3. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    The most frequently used general-purpose implementation of an associative array is with a hash table: an array combined with a hash function that separates each key into a separate "bucket" of the array. The basic idea behind a hash table is that accessing an element of an array via its index is a simple, constant-time operation.

  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. Comparison of programming languages (associative array)

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

    The hash function in Java, used by HashMap and HashSet, is provided by the Object.hashCode() method. Since every class in Java inherits from Object, every object has a hash function. A class can override the default implementation of hashCode() to provide a custom hash function more in accordance with the properties of the object.

  7. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python sets are very much like mathematical sets, and support operations like set intersection and union. Python also features a frozenset class for immutable sets, see Collection types. Dictionaries (class dict) are mutable mappings tying keys and corresponding values. Python has special syntax to create dictionaries ({key: value})

  8. MurmurHash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MurmurHash

    MurmurHash is a non-cryptographic hash function suitable for general hash-based lookup. [1] [2] [3] It was created by Austin Appleby in 2008 [4] and, as of 8 January 2016, [5] is hosted on GitHub along with its test suite named SMHasher. It also exists in a number of variants, [6] all of which have been released into the public domain. The name ...

  9. BLAKE (hash function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLAKE_(hash_function)

    BLAKE is a cryptographic hash function based on Daniel J. Bernstein's ChaCha stream cipher, but a permuted copy of the input block, XORed with round constants, is added before each ChaCha round. Like SHA-2 , there are two variants differing in the word size.
