hashtables have constant time insertion, lookup, and deletion, while trees have logarithmic lookup
ok well I've never programmed anything and it seems crazy to my outsider-mind that you would need to assign number values to vowels and consonants, divide by a constant and then take the remainder as your answer
Also I don't understand rose's thing at all but I was kinda just skimming it
the reason you would do that is so that, given the name of an object in the table, you know exactly where it is
by contrast, say you just had an array of items in no particular order. To find "blue box" you'd have to look through every item until you found it. If you have a hundred item slots, that's an average of fifty checks
however, if you can look at blue box, find its hash number with simple arithmetic, then you can say, oh it is at slot fifty-seven, and then you only have to check one slot instead of fifty
Wouldn't you run into problems with multiple objects occupying the same slot?
I mean that was my first reaction to this as a plot device :P
Me too. I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually animate any gifs anymore but I can't figure out why.
which time
for both of those events
animated gifs work fine for me if you restart chrome
sometimes
yeah, there's a lot of complicated ways to deal with that
presumably, though, he's using the simplest, linear probing, which is basically that if an object's hash spot is already occupied, then you put it in the next open hash spot instead
or he's just going to make it knock out the first object; who knows?
I don't know, I barely remember how long I've been here
oh my goodness
this is wonderful
It's a comedic plot device, roll with it
?
what in the fuck?
that was what I said and then randall explained that it's actually a real thing and I was interested so we discussed it
Well, in regards to programming it's reasonable, but when applied to an inventory system for an adventure game, it seems rather baroque. Which is, of course, the joke of the whole thing. ::buckleyface::
Either that, or hers will be the simplest and most user friendly, and therefore the most powerful.

and he doesn't even have a prime table size
They are still retarded to use as inventory systems, Randall.
Jesus.
Please tell me there's more of this!
