Hash tables are one of the oldest and simplest data structures for storing elements and supporting deletions and queries. Invented in 1953, they underly most computational systems. Yet despite their ...

JavaScript errors are common when you stay long periods of time without updating your browser. It may seem like a small error that can be ignored, but it increasingly ...

JavaScript’s low bar to entry has resulted in one of the richest programming language ecosystems in the world. This month’s report celebrates the bounty, while also highlighting a recent example of ...

Abstract: Hash Tables are important data structures for a wide range of data intensive applications in various domains. They offer compact storage for sparse data, but their performance has ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Sometime in the fall of 2021, Andrew Krapivin, an undergraduate at Rutgers University, encountered a paper that would change his life.

A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible. Sometime in the fall of 2021, Andrew ...

Linear probing is a collision resolution strategy. When a collision occurs on insert, we probe the hash table, in a linear, stepwise fashion, to find the next available space in which to store our new ...

As we have seen in previous videos, it happens sometimes that two keys yield the same hash value for a given table size. This is called a “hash collision” or just “collision.” Why do hash collisions ...
