Look inside
As a summer intern at Ginormous Megadata Inc, you’ve been tasked with building a phone directory of the company’s 130,000 employees. The catch? Your boss won’t spring for an off-the-shelf database, the company’s firewall prevents you from searching for what you need online, and the summer isn’t long enough for you to build a full-fledged database from scratch. To complete your task, you decide to create a hash table, a data structure that enables you to use keys to store and retrieve items. You’ll experiment with different hash tables methods, including chaining, open addressing, and quadratic probing. When you’re finished, you’ll have hands-on experience creating a functional hash table you can use to build Ginormous Megadata’s phone directory, as well as a solid understanding of the trade-offs between different kinds of hash tables.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
