--- comments: true --- # 6.1   Hash Table A "hash table", also known as a "hash map", achieves efficient element querying by establishing a mapping between keys and values. Specifically, when we input a `key` into the hash table, we can retrieve the corresponding `value` in $O(1)$ time. As shown in the Figure 6-1 , given $n$ students, each with two pieces of data: "name" and "student number". If we want to implement a query feature that returns the corresponding name when given a student number, we can use the hash table shown in the Figure 6-1 . ![Abstract representation of a hash table](hash_map.assets/hash_table_lookup.png){ class="animation-figure" }

Figure 6-1   Abstract representation of a hash table

Apart from hash tables, arrays and linked lists can also be used to implement querying functions. Their efficiency is compared in the Table 6-1 . - **Adding Elements**: Simply add the element to the end of the array (or linked list), using $O(1)$ time. - **Querying Elements**: Since the array (or linked list) is unordered, it requires traversing all the elements, using $O(n)$ time. - **Deleting Elements**: First, locate the element, then delete it from the array (or linked list), using $O(n)$ time.

Table 6-1   Comparison of Element Query Efficiency

| | Array | Linked List | Hash Table | | -------------- | ------ | ----------- | ---------- | | Find Element | $O(n)$ | $O(n)$ | $O(1)$ | | Add Element | $O(1)$ | $O(1)$ | $O(1)$ | | Delete Element | $O(n)$ | $O(n)$ | $O(1)$ |
Observations reveal that **the time complexity for adding, deleting, and querying in a hash table is $O(1)$**, which is highly efficient. ## 6.1.1   Common Operations of Hash Table Common operations of a hash table include initialization, querying, adding key-value pairs, and deleting key-value pairs, etc. Example code is as follows: === "Python" ```python title="hash_map.py" # Initialize hash table hmap: dict = {} # Add operation # Add key-value pair (key, value) to the hash table hmap[12836] = "Xiao Ha" hmap[15937] = "Xiao Luo" hmap[16750] = "Xiao Suan" hmap[13276] = "Xiao Fa" hmap[10583] = "Xiao Ya" # Query operation # Input key into hash table, get value name: str = hmap[15937] # Delete operation # Delete key-value pair (key, value) from hash table hmap.pop(10583) ``` === "C++" ```cpp title="hash_map.cpp" /* Initialize hash table */ unordered_map map; /* Add operation */ // Add key-value pair (key, value) to the hash table map[12836] = "Xiao Ha"; map[15937] = "Xiao Luo"; map[16750] = "Xiao Suan"; map[13276] = "Xiao Fa"; map[10583] = "Xiao Ya"; /* Query operation */ // Input key into hash table, get value string name = map[15937]; /* Delete operation */ // Delete key-value pair (key, value) from hash table map.erase(10583); ``` === "Java" ```java title="hash_map.java" /* Initialize hash table */ Map map = new HashMap<>(); /* Add operation */ // Add key-value pair (key, value) to the hash table map.put(12836, "Xiao Ha"); map.put(15937, "Xiao Luo"); map.put(16750, "Xiao Suan"); map.put(13276, "Xiao Fa"); map.put(10583, "Xiao Ya"); /* Query operation */ // Input key into hash table, get value String name = map.get(15937); /* Delete operation */ // Delete key-value pair (key, value) from hash table map.remove(10583); ``` === "C#" ```csharp title="hash_map.cs" /* Initialize hash table */ Dictionary map = new() { /* Add operation */ // Add key-value pair (key, value) to the hash table { 12836, "Xiao Ha" }, { 15937, "Xiao Luo" }, { 16750, "Xiao Suan" }, { 13276, "Xiao Fa" }, { 10583, "Xiao Ya" } }; /* Query operation */ // Input key into hash table, get value string name = map[15937]; /* Delete operation */ // Delete key-value pair (key, value) from hash table map.Remove(10583); ``` === "Go" ```go title="hash_map_test.go" /* Initialize hash table */ hmap := make(map[int]string) /* Add operation */ // Add key-value pair (key, value) to the hash table hmap[12836] = "Xiao Ha" hmap[15937] = "Xiao Luo" hmap[16750] = "Xiao Suan" hmap[13276] = "Xiao Fa" hmap[10583] = "Xiao Ya" /* Query operation */ // Input key into hash table, get value name := hmap[15937] /* Delete operation */ // Delete key-value pair (key, value) from hash table delete(hmap, 10583) ``` === "Swift" ```swift title="hash_map.swift" /* Initialize hash table */ var map: [Int: String] = [:] /* Add operation */ // Add key-value pair (key, value) to the hash table map[12836] = "Xiao Ha" map[15937] = "Xiao Luo" map[16750] = "Xiao Suan" map[13276] = "Xiao Fa" map[10583] = "Xiao Ya" /* Query operation */ // Input key into hash table, get value let name = map[15937]!

There are three common ways to traverse a hash table: traversing key-value pairs, keys, and values. Example code is as follows: === "Python" ```python title="hash_map.py" # Traverse hash table # Traverse key-value pairs key->value for key, value in hmap.items(): print(key, "->", value) # Traverse keys only for key in hmap.keys(): print(key) # Traverse values only for value in hmap.values(): print(value) ``` === "C++" ```cpp title="hash_map.cpp" /* Traverse hash table */ // Traverse key-value pairs key->value for (auto kv: map) { cout << kv.first << " -> " << kv.second << endl; } // Traverse using iterator key->value for (auto iter = map.begin(); iter != map.end(); iter++) { cout << iter->first << "->" << iter->second << endl; } ``` === "Java" ```java title="hash_map.java" /* Traverse hash table */ // Traverse key-value pairs key->value for (Map.Entry kv: map.entrySet()) { System.out.println(kv.getKey() + " -> " + kv.getValue()); } // Traverse keys only for (int key: map.keySet()) { System.out.println(key); } // Traverse values only for (String val: map.values()) { System.out.println(val); } ``` === "C#" ```csharp title="hash_map.cs" /* Traverse hash table */ // Traverse key-value pairs Key->Value foreach (var kv in map) { Console.WriteLine(kv.Key + " -> " + kv.Value); } // Traverse keys only foreach (int key in map.Keys) { Console.WriteLine(key); } // Traverse values only foreach (string val in map.Values) { Console.WriteLine(val); } ``` === "Go" ```go title="hash_map_test.go" /* Traverse hash table */ // Traverse key-value pairs key->value for key, value := range hmap { fmt.Println(key, "->", value) } // Traverse keys only for key := range hmap { fmt.Println(key) } // Traverse values only for _, value := range hmap { fmt.Println(value) } ``` === "Swift" ```swift title="hash_map.swift" /* Traverse hash table */ // Traverse key-value pairs Key->Value for (key, value) in map { print("\(key) -> \(value)") } // Traverse keys only for key in map.keys { print(key) } // Traverse values only for value in map.values { print(value) } ``` === "JS" ```javascript title="hash_map.js" /* Traverse hash table */ console.info('\nTraverse key-value pairs Key->Value'); for (const [k, v] of map.entries()) { console.info(k + ' -> ' + v); } console.info('\nTraverse keys only Key'); for (const k of map.keys()) { console.info(k); } console.info('\nTraverse values only Value'); for (const v of map.values()) { console.info(v); } ``` === "TS" ```typescript title="hash_map.ts" /* Traverse hash table */ console.info('\nTraverse key-value pairs Key->Value'); for (const [k, v] of map.entries()) { console.info(k + ' -> ' + v); } console.info('\nTraverse keys only Key'); for (const k of map.keys()) { console.info(k); } console.info('\nTraverse values only Value'); for (const v of map.values()) { console.info(v); } ``` === "Dart" ```dart title="hash_map.dart" /* Traverse hash table */ // Traverse key-value pairs Key->Value map.forEach((key, value) { print('$key -> $value'); }); // Traverse keys only Key map.keys.forEach((key) { print(key); }); // Traverse values only Value map.values.forEach((value) { print(value); }); ``` === "Rust" ```rust title="hash_map.rs" /* Traverse hash table */ // Traverse key-value pairs Key->Value for (key, value) in &map { println!("{key} -> {value}"); } // Traverse keys only Key for key in map.keys() { println!("{key}"); } // Traverse values only Value for value in map.values() { println!("{value}"); } ``` === "C" ```c title="hash_map.c" // C does not provide a built-in hash table ``` === "Zig" ```zig title="hash_map.zig" // Zig example is not provided ``` ??? pythontutor "Code Visualization"
## 6.1.2   Simple Implementation of Hash Table First, let's consider the simplest case: **implementing a hash table using just an array**. In the hash table, each empty slot in the array is called a "bucket", and each bucket can store one key-value pair. Therefore, the query operation involves finding the bucket corresponding to the `key` and retrieving the `value` from it. So, how do we locate the appropriate bucket based on the `key`? This is achieved through a "hash function". The role of the hash function is to map a larger input space to a smaller output space. In a hash table, the input space is all possible keys, and the output space is all buckets (array indices). In other words, input a `key`, **and we can use the hash function to determine the storage location of the corresponding key-value pair in the array**. The calculation process of the hash function for a given `key` is divided into the following two steps: 1. Calculate the hash value using a certain hash algorithm `hash()`. 2. Take the modulus of the hash value with the number of buckets (array length) `capacity` to obtain the array index `index`. ```shell index = hash(key) % capacity ``` Afterward, we can use `index` to access the corresponding bucket in the hash table and thereby retrieve the `value`. Assuming array length `capacity = 100` and hash algorithm `hash(key) = key`, the hash function is `key % 100`. The Figure 6-2 uses `key` as the student number and `value` as the name to demonstrate the working principle of the hash function. ![Working principle of hash function](hash_map.assets/hash_function.png){ class="animation-figure" }

The following code implements a simple hash table. Here, we encapsulate `key` and `value` into a class `Pair` to represent the key-value pair. === "Python" ```python title="array_hash_map.py" class Pair: """键值对""" def __init__(self, key: int, val: str): self.key = key self.val = val class ArrayHashMap: """基于数组实现的哈希表""" def __init__(self): """构造方法""" # 初始化数组,包含 100 个桶 self.buckets: list[Pair | None] = [None] * 100 def hash_func(self, key: int) -> int: """哈希函数""" index = key % 100 return index def get(self, key: int) -> str: """查询操作""" index: int = self.hash_func(key) pair: Pair = self.buckets[index] if pair is None: return None return pair.val def put(self, key: int, val: str): """添加操作""" pair = Pair(key, val) index: int = self.hash_func(key) self.buckets[index] = pair def remove(self, key: int): """删除操作""" index: int = self.hash_func(key) # 置为 None ,代表删除 self.buckets[index] = None def entry_set(self) -> list[Pair]: """获取所有键值对""" result: list[Pair] = [] for pair in self.buckets: if pair is not None: result.append(pair) return result def key_set(self) -> list[int]: """获取所有键""" result = [] for pair in self.buckets: if pair is not None: result.append(pair.key) return result def value_set(self) -> list[str]: """获取所有值""" result = [] for pair in self.buckets: if pair is not None: result.append(pair.val) return result def print(self): """打印哈希表""" for pair in self.buckets: if pair is not None: print(pair.key, "->", pair.val) ``` === "C++" ```cpp title="array_hash_map.cpp" /* 键值对 */ struct Pair { public: int key; string val; Pair(int key, string val) { this->key = key; this->val = val; } }; /* 基于数组实现的哈希表 */ class ArrayHashMap { private: vector buckets; public: ArrayHashMap() { // 初始化数组,包含 100 个桶 buckets = vector(100); } ~ArrayHashMap() { // 释放内存 for (const auto &bucket : buckets) { delete bucket; } buckets.clear(); } /* 哈希函数 */ int hashFunc(int key) { int index = key % 100; return index; } /* 查询操作 */ string get(int key) { int index = hashFunc(key); Pair *pair = buckets[index]; if (pair == nullptr) return ""; return pair->val; } /* 添加操作 */ void put(int key, string val) { Pair *pair = new Pair(key, val); int index = hashFunc(key); buckets[index] = pair; } /* 删除操作 */ void remove(int key) { int index = hashFunc(key); // 释放内存并置为 nullptr delete buckets[index]; buckets[index] = nullptr; } /* 获取所有键值对 */ vector pairSet() { vector pairSet; for (Pair *pair : buckets) { if (pair != nullptr) { pairSet.push_back(pair); } } return pairSet; } /* 获取所有键 */ vector keySet() { vector keySet; for (Pair *pair : buckets) { if (pair != nullptr) { keySet.push_back(pair->key); } } return keySet; } /* 获取所有值 */ vector valueSet() { vector valueSet; for (Pair *pair : buckets) { if (pair != nullptr) { valueSet.push_back(pair->val); } } return valueSet; } /* 打印哈希表 */ void print() { for (Pair *kv : pairSet()) { cout << kv->key << " -> " << kv->val << endl; } } }; ``` === "Java" ```java title="array_hash_map.java" /* 键值对 */ class Pair { public int key; public String val; public Pair(int key, String val) { this.key = key; this.val = val; } } /* 基于数组实现的哈希表 */ class ArrayHashMap { private List buckets; public ArrayHashMap() { // 初始化数组,包含 100 个桶 buckets = new ArrayList<>(); for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { buckets.add(null); } } /* 哈希函数 */ private int hashFunc(int key) { int index = key % 100; return index; } /* 查询操作 */ public String get(int key) { int index = hashFunc(key); Pair pair = buckets.get(index); if (pair == null) return null; return pair.val; } /* 添加操作 */ public void put(int key, String val) { Pair pair = new Pair(key, val); int index = hashFunc(key); buckets.set(index, pair); } /* 删除操作 */ public void remove(int key) { int index = hashFunc(key); // 置为 null ,代表删除 buckets.set(index, null); } /* 获取所有键值对 */ public List pairSet() { List pairSet = new ArrayList<>(); for (Pair pair : buckets) { if (pair != null) pairSet.add(pair); } return pairSet; } /* 获取所有键 */ public List keySet() { List keySet = new ArrayList<>(); for (Pair pair : buckets) { if (pair != null) keySet.add(pair.key); } return keySet; } /* 获取所有值 */ public List valueSet() { List valueSet = new ArrayList<>(); for (Pair pair : buckets) { if (pair != null) valueSet.add(pair.val); } return valueSet; } /* 打印哈希表 */ public void print() { for (Pair kv : pairSet()) { System.out.println(kv.key + " -> " + kv.val); } } } ``` === "C#" ```csharp title="array_hash_map.cs" /* 键值对 int->string */ class Pair(int key, string val) { public int key = key; public string val = val; } /* 基于数组实现的哈希表 */ class ArrayHashMap { List buckets; public ArrayHashMap() { // 初始化数组,包含 100 个桶 buckets = []; for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { buckets.Add(null); } } /* 哈希函数 */ int HashFunc(int key) { int index = key % 100; return index; } /* 查询操作 */ public string?

## 6.1.3   Hash Collision and Resizing Fundamentally, the role of the hash function is to map the entire input space of all keys to the output space of all array indices. However, the input space is often much larger than the output space. Therefore, **theoretically, there must be situations where "multiple inputs correspond to the same output"**. For the hash function in the above example, if the last two digits of the input `key` are the same, the output of the hash function will also be the same. For example, when querying for students with student numbers 12836 and 20336, we find: ```shell 12836 % 100 = 36 20336 % 100 = 36 ``` As shown in the Figure 6-3 , both student numbers point to the same name, which is obviously incorrect. This situation where multiple inputs correspond to the same output is known as "hash collision". ![Example of hash collision](hash_map.assets/hash_collision.png){ class="animation-figure" }

Figure 6-3   Example of hash collision

It is easy to understand that the larger the capacity $n$ of the hash table, the lower the probability of multiple keys being allocated to the same bucket, and the fewer the collisions. Therefore, **expanding the capacity of the hash table can reduce hash collisions**. As shown in the Figure 6-4 , before expansion, key-value pairs `(136, A)` and `(236, D)` collided; after expansion, the collision is resolved. ![Hash table expansion](hash_map.assets/hash_table_reshash.png){ class="animation-figure" }

Figure 6-4   Hash table expansion

Similar to array expansion, resizing a hash table requires migrating all key-value pairs from the original hash table to the new one, which is time-consuming. Furthermore, since the capacity `capacity` of the hash table changes, we need to recalculate the storage positions of all key-value pairs using the hash function, which adds to the computational overhead of the resizing process. Therefore, programming languages often reserve a sufficiently large capacity for the hash table to prevent frequent resizing. The "load factor" is an important concept for hash tables. It is defined as the ratio of the number of elements in the hash table to the number of buckets. It is used to measure the severity of hash collisions and **is often used as a trigger for resizing the hash table**. For example, in Java, when the load factor exceeds $0.75$, the system will resize the hash table to twice its original size.
