| Question 2 |
Consider a double hashing scheme in which the primary hash function is h1(k) = k mod 23, and the secondary hash function is h2(k) = 1 + (k mod 19). Assume that the table size is 23. Then the address returned by probe 1 in the probe sequence (assume that the probe sequence begins at probe 0) for key value k=90 is _______.
| 13 |
Question 2 Explanation:
• Probe sequence is the list of locations which a method for open addressing produces as alternatives in case of a collision.
• K=90
• h1(k) = k mod 23 = 90 mod 23 = 21
• In case of collision, we need to use secondary hash function.
• h2(k) = 1 + (k mod19) = 1 + 90mod19 = 1+14 = 15
• Now (21+15) mod 23 = 36 mod 23 = 13
• So the address is 13.
• K=90
• h1(k) = k mod 23 = 90 mod 23 = 21
• In case of collision, we need to use secondary hash function.
• h2(k) = 1 + (k mod19) = 1 + 90mod19 = 1+14 = 15
• Now (21+15) mod 23 = 36 mod 23 = 13
• So the address is 13.
Correct Answer: A
