Detailed Description

template<class KeyType, class ItemType>
class abacus::AbaHash< KeyType, ItemType >

Hash tables.

This data structure stores a set of items and provides as central functions the insertion of a new item, the search for an item, and the deletion of an item.

Each item is associated with a key. The set of all possible keys is called the universe. A hash table has a fixed size n. A hash function assigns to each key of the universe a number in {0,..., n-1}, which we denote slot. If an item is inserted in the hash table, then it is stored in the component of the array associated with its slot. Usually, n is much smaller than the cardinality of the universe. Hence, it can happen that two elements are mapped to the same slot. This is called a collision. In order to resolve collisions, each slot of the hash table does not store an item explicitly, but is the start of a linear list storing all items mapped to this slot.

This template implements a hash table where collisions are resolved by chaining. Currently hash functions for keys of type int and string are implemented. If you want to use this data structure for other types (e.g., YOURTYPE), you should derive a class from the class AbaHash and define a hash function {int hf(YOURTYPE key)}.

The following sections implement two new classes. The class AbaHash contains the hash table which consists of pointers to the class AbaHashItem. The class AbaHashItem stores an inserted element and its key and provides the a pointer to the next item in the linked list.

ItemType* abacus::AbaHash< KeyType, ItemType >::find ( const KeyType & key )

Looks for an item in the hash table with a given key.

Parameters

key	The key of the searched item.

Returns: A pointer to an item with the given key, or a 0-pointer if there is no item with this key in the hash table. If there is more than one item in the hash table with this key, a pointer to the first item found is returned.

◆ find() [2/3]

template<class KeyType , class ItemType >

const ItemType* abacus::AbaHash< KeyType, ItemType >::find ( const KeyType & key ) const

Looks for an item in the hash table with a given key.

Parameters

key	The key of the searched item.

Returns: A pointer to an item with the given key, or a 0-pointer if there is no item with this key in the hash table. If there is more than one item in the hash table with this key, a pointer to the first item found is returned.

◆ find() [3/3]

template<class KeyType , class ItemType >

bool abacus::AbaHash< KeyType, ItemType >::find	(	const KeyType &	key,
		const ItemType &	item
	)		const

Checks if a prespecified item with a prespecified key is contained in the hash table.

Parameters

key	The key of the item.
item	The searched item.

Returns: true If there is an element (key, item) in the hash table, false otherwise.

◆ hf() [1/3]

template<class KeyType , class ItemType >

int abacus::AbaHash< KeyType, ItemType >::hf ( const string & str ) const

private

This is a hash function for character strings.

It is taken from Knuth, 1993, page 300.

◆ hf() [2/3]

template<class KeyType , class ItemType >

int abacus::AbaHash< KeyType, ItemType >::hf ( int key ) const

private

Computes the hash value of key.

It must be overloaded for all key types, which are used together with this template.

This following version of hf() implements a Fibonacci hash function for keys of type int.

◆ hf() [3/3]

template<class KeyType , class ItemType >

int abacus::AbaHash< KeyType, ItemType >::hf ( unsigned key ) const

private

This version of hf() implements a Fibonacci hash function for keys of type unsigned.

◆ initializeIteration() [1/2]

template<class KeyType , class ItemType >

ItemType* abacus::AbaHash< KeyType, ItemType >::initializeIteration ( const KeyType & key )

This function retrieves the first item.

Parameters

key	The key of the items through which we want to iterate.

Returns: A pointer to the first item found in the hash table having key key, or 0 if there is no such item.

◆ initializeIteration() [2/2]

template<class KeyType , class ItemType >

const ItemType* abacus::AbaHash< KeyType, ItemType >::initializeIteration ( const KeyType & key ) const

This function retrieves the first item.

Parameters

key	The key of the items through which we want to iterate.

Returns: A const pointer to the first item found in the hash table having key key, or 0 if there is no such item.

◆ insert()

template<class KeyType , class ItemType >

void abacus::AbaHash< KeyType, ItemType >::insert	(	const KeyType &	newKey,
		const ItemType &	newItem
	)

Adds an item to the hash table.

The new item is inserted at the head of the list in the corresponding slot. It is possible to insert several items with the same key into the hash table.

Parameters

newKey	The key of the new item.
newItem	The item being inserted.

◆ nCollisions()

template<class KeyType , class ItemType >

int abacus::AbaHash< KeyType, ItemType >::nCollisions ( ) const

Returns the number of collisions which occurred during all previous calls of the functions insert() and overWrite().

◆ next() [1/2]

template<class KeyType , class ItemType >

ItemType* abacus::AbaHash< KeyType, ItemType >::next ( const KeyType & key )

This function can be used to go to the next item in the hash table with key key.

Before the first call of next() for a certain can the iteration has to be initialized by calling initializeItaration().

Note: The function next() gives you the next item having key key but not the next item in the linked list starting in a slot of the hash table.

Parameters

key	The key of the items through which we want to iterate.

Returns: A pointer to the next item having key key, or 0 if there is no more item with this key in the hash table.
