# HashMaps # HashMaps
These HashMap implementations were my final project for **CS 261 - Data Structures** These two hash map implementations feature open addressing with quadratic probing
at Oregon Sate. hash\_map\_oa.py features open addressing with quadratic probing and separate chaining to handle collisions. The a6\_include module provides the
while hash\_map\_sc.py uses separate chaining to handle collisions. Both implementations underlying data structures, and two hash functions.
use a dynamic array for the underlying hash table, however hash\_map\_sc.py uses a
singly linked list for each bucket, and hash\_map\_oa.py uses a single HashEntry Both implementations use the included DynamicArray class for the underlying hash table,
object at each index of the array. however hash\_map\_sc.py uses a singly linked list for each bucket while hash\_map\_oa.py
uses a HashEntry object. Additionally, hash\_map\_sc.py includes a seperate function,
find\_mode(), that provides a mechanism for finding the value that occurs most
frequently in the hash map and how many times it occurs.
