Question
The Java hash function for Strings generates a hash code depending on the string's maximum length. Given that Strings have no meaningful upper constraint on length, describe how to build an efficient, constant-time hashing method. (Hint: Which of the following eight characters would you use to represent a string of length l?)

The keys in your hash are 4-digit integers (0000 through 9999) and your hash function is h(k) = (the sum of the digits in k). Assuming keys are uniformly random over the range 0000 to 9999, is this a good hash function? (Answer true for yes, false for no). True Falsearrow_forward
- The Java hash function for Strings computes a hash code based on a fixed maximum number of characters of the string.

- ). This problem is about the chaining method we discussed in the class. Problem 3 (, Consider a hash table of size N = 11. Suppose that you insert the following sequence of keys to an initially empty hash table. Show, step by step, the content of the hash table. Sequence of keys to be inserted:arrow_forward- In class HashTable implement a hash table and consider the following:(i) Keys are integers (therefore also negative!) and should be stored in the tableint[] data.(ii) As a hash function take h(x) = (x · 701) mod 2000. The size of the table istherefore 2000. Be careful when computing the index of a negative key. Forexample, the index of the key x = −10 ish(−10) = (−7010) mod 2000 = (2000(−4) + 990) mod 2000 = 990.Hence, indices should be non-negative integers between 0 and 1999!(iii) Implement insert, which takes an integer and inserts it into a table. Themethod returns true, if the insertion is successful. If an element is already inthe table, the function insert should return false.(iv) Implement search, which takes an integer and finds it in the table.

Themethod returns true, if the deletion is successful and false otherwise.(vi)…arrow_forwardUse Python to program a hash with a couple of people and their interconnected birth years. Next, show the people's names and their birth years, and have the user enter one. Reverse the hash and show the birth years, having the user choose a birth year. Then, show the person's name for that birth year. Also, the user should have the option to add and delete entries.arrow_forward
