In data structure Hash, hash function is used to convert a string(or any other type) into an integer smaller than hash size and bigger or equal to zero. The objective of designing a hash function is to "hash" the key as unreasonable as possible. A good hash function can avoid collision as less as possible. A widely used hash function algorithm is using a magic number 33, consider any string as a 33 based big integer like follow:
hashcode("abcd") = (ascii(a) * 333 + ascii(b) * 332 + ascii(c) *33 + ascii(d)) % HASH_SIZE
= (97* 333 + 98 * 332 + 99 * 33 +100) % HASH_SIZE
= 3595978 % HASH_SIZE
here HASH_SIZE is the capacity of the hash table (you can assume a hash table is like an array with index 0 ~ HASH_SIZE-1).
Given a string as a key and the size of hash table, return the hash value of this key.f
It is a very easy question. But it might be overflow if we just calculate directly by the given formula.We have to get the mod of 33 while we are adding every bit.
/**
* Definition for a Record
* class Record {
* public int id, score;
* public Record(int id, int score){
* this.id = id;
* this.score = score;
* }
* }
*/
public class Solution {
/**
* @param results a list of <student_id, score>
* @return find the average of 5 highest scores for each person
* Map<Integer, Double> (student_id, average_score)
*/
public Map<Integer, Double> highFive(Record[] results) {
// Write your code here
}
}
