If the set of key-value pairs is fixed and known ahead of time (so insertions and deletions are not allowed), you can reduce the average lookup cost by a careful choice of the hash function, bucket ...

You have an array of pointers. You take the data, hash it, modulo the hash to generate an index. The index is used on the array of pointers that points to another data structure, commonly a linked ...

Bloom filters are an essential class of probabilistic data structures designed for rapid set membership testing while minimising memory usage. By utilising multiple hash functions, these ...
