Load factor is defined as (m/n) where n is the total size of the hash table and m is the preferred number of entries that can be inserted before an increment in the size of the underlying data structure is required. Rehashing is a technique in which the table is resized, i.e., the size of the table ...
A Doubly Linked List enhances the standard Linked List by allowing bidirectional navigation. Each node points to both the next and the previous node, enabling efficient forward and backward traversal. This structure contrasts with Single Linked Lists, where movement is restricted to one direction, making it challenging to access previous elements without iterating from the start. What ...
Insertion sort is an important method in organizing data, especially good at sorting small groups of information. It works by dividing a list into two parts: one that’s already sorted and one that’s not. Just like when you sort playing cards, it takes each item from the unsorted section and finds the right spot for ...
Hashing is a technique or process of mapping keys, values into the hash table by using a hash function. It is done for faster access to elements. The efficiency of mapping depends on the efficiency of the hash function used. Takeaways Introduction to Hashing in Data Structure Before going into Hashing in Data Structure let’s understand ...
