Design a Hash Map
HashMapHash FunctionCollision ResolutionData StructuresStrategy Pattern
Design and implement a HashMap (Hash Table) data structure that supports put(key, value), get(key), and remove(key) operations. The implementation should handle hash collisions using separate chaining or open addressing, dynamically resize when the load factor exceeds a threshold, and include a well-designed hash function. The design should demonstrate understanding of hash function design, collision resolution strategies, load factor management, and bucket array management.
What You'll Build
- The HashMap must support put(key, value) operation that inserts a new key-value pair or updates the value if the key already exists. This operation should handle hash collisions appropriately.
- The HashMap must support get(key) operation that returns the value associated with the key if it exists, or -1 if the key is not found.
- The HashMap must support remove(key) operation that deletes the key-value pair associated with the given key if it exists.
- The HashMap must handle hash collisions using separate chaining, where each bucket contains a linked list of entries that hash to the same index.
- The HashMap must dynamically resize when the load factor (number of entries / bucket capacity) exceeds a threshold of 0.75, doubling the bucket capacity and rehashing all existing entries.
