Hash Tables
Problems
Problem : Describe how the following hash function violates the four rules for a good hash function.
int hash(char *data, int table_size)
{
return 220 % table_size;
}
Problem : Why do most hash functions return a non-negative integer hash value? In other words, why wouldn't a hash function return a string or a double?
Problem : What other applications of hash functions can you think of besides hash tables?
