I am trying to design a HashTable from scratch. I am starting with an initial bucket size of 11 and trying to maintain a load factor 0.75. Java documentation mentions that whenever the number of items reaches the load factor the HashTable increases…

So I've been looking around to find a suitable hash function for a hashmap. Currently the best one I've found was from xxhash and maybe murmur after that, but they excluded CRC32C which can be optimized greatly by using 3 64 bit parallel crc32c…

When the load of the hash table grows too large in proportion to the hash table size, you increase the size of the hash table to improve performance. When the load is too large is dependant on a predetermined value, the load factor. How do you refer…
