Constructor Detail

HashTable

public HashTable(int numberOfBuckets,
                 HashFunction hasher)

Initializes a new instance of HashTable.

Initialize the instance variables.
Note: when initializing the hashTable, make sure to allocate each entry in the HashTable to a new a HashBucket or null, your choice.

Parameters:

numberOfBuckets - the size of the hashTable

hasher - the type of hashing function

Method Detail

insert

public boolean insert(java.lang.String key)

Description copied from interface: IHash

Add a key to the hash table, if it is not currently in the table

Specified by:

insert in interface IHash

Parameters:

key - - the key to add

Returns:

true on success, false on failure (duplicate)

remove

public boolean remove(java.lang.String key)

Description copied from interface: IHash

Remove a key from the hash table

Specified by:

remove in interface IHash

Parameters:

key - - the key to remove

Returns:

true on success, false on failure (not in table)

search

public java.lang.String search(java.lang.String key)

Description copied from interface: IHash

Search for a key in the hash table

Specified by:

search in interface IHash

Parameters:

key - - the key to search for

Returns:

the key on success, null on failure (not in table)

size

public int size()

Description copied from interface: IHash

Get the number of elements in the hash table

Specified by:

size in interface IHash

Returns:

the number of elements in the table

size

public int size(int index)

Description copied from interface: IHash

Get the number of elements in the hash table at the given index

Specified by:

size in interface IHash

Parameters:

index - the index in the hash table (0 to size-1)

Returns:

the size of the list in the i^th bucket

iterator

public java.util.Iterator<java.lang.String> iterator()

Description copied from interface: IHash

Get an iterator that return the Strings stored in the hash table one at a time. The order should be in order of entries in the hash table itself and for a given bucket, the order in that list.

Specified by:

iterator in interface IHash

Returns:

an Interator

iterator

public java.util.Iterator<java.lang.String> iterator(int index)

Does not use the iterator above. Iterates over one bucket.

Specified by:

iterator in interface IHash

Parameters:

index - the index of bucket to iterate over

Returns:

an iterator for that bucket

print

public void print()

Description copied from interface: IHash

Print the entire hash table.

Specified by:

print in interface IHash
