Data Structures and Algorithms
!
The material for this lecture is drawn, in part, from!
The Practice of Programming (Kernighan & Pike) Chapter 2!
Jennifer Rexford
!
2
Motivating Quotations!
“Every program depends on algorithms and data
structures, but few programs depend on the
invention of brand new ones.”!
-- Kernighan & Pike!
“I will, in fact, claim that the difference between a
bad programmer and a good one is whether he
considers his code or his data structures more
important. Bad programmers worry about the
code. Good programmers worry about data
structures and their relationships.”!
-- Linus Torvalds!

Goals of this Lecture!
• Help you learn (or refresh your memory) about:!
• Common data structures and algorithms!
• Why? Shallow motivation:!
• Provide examples of pointer-related C code!
• Why? Deeper motivation:!
• Common data structures and algorithms serve as “high
level building blocks”!
• A power programmer:!
• Rarely creates programs from scratch!
• Often creates programs using building blocks!
4
A Common Task!
• Maintain a table of key/value pairs!
• Each key is a string; each value is an int
• Unknown number of key-value pairs!
• Examples!
• (student name, grade)!
• (“john smith”, 84), (“jane doe”, 93), (“bill clinton”, 81)!
• (baseball player, number)!
• (“Ruth”, 3), (“Gehrig”, 4), (“Mantle”, 7)!
• (variable name, value)!
• (“maxLength”, 2000), (“i”, 7), (“j”, -10)!
• For simplicity, allow duplicate keys (client responsibility)!
• In Assignment #3, must check for duplicate keys!!
5
Data Structures and Algorithms!
• Data structures!
• Linked list of key/value pairs!
• Hash table of key/value pairs!
• Algorithms!
• Create: Create the data structure!
• Add: Add a key/value pair!
• Search: Search for a key/value pair, by key!
• Free: Free the data structure!
6
Data Structure #1: Linked List!
• Data structure: Nodes; each contains key/value
pair and pointer to next node!
• Algorithms:!
• Create: Allocate Table structure to point to first node!
• Add: Insert new node at front of list!
• Search: Linear search through the list!
• Free: Free nodes while traversing; free Table structure!

Linked List Performance!
• Create: !fast!
• Add:! !fast!
• Search: !slow!
• Free: !slow!
Would it be better to
keep the nodes
sorted by key?!
What are the
asymptotic run times
(big-oh notation)?!
31
Data Structure #2: Hash Table!
• Fixed-size array where each element points to a linked list!
• Function maps each key to an array index !
• For example, for an integer key h
• Hash function: i = h % ARRAYSIZE (mod function)!
• Go to array element i, i.e., the linked list hashtab[i]
• Search for element, add element, remove element, etc.!
0
ARRAYSIZE-1
struct Node *array[ARRAYSIZE];
32
Hash Table Example!
• Integer keys, array of size 5 with hash function “h
mod 5” !
• “1776 % 5” is 1!
• “1861 % 5” is 1!
• “1939 % 5” is 4!

33
How Large an Array?!
• Large enough that average “bucket” size is 1!
• Short buckets mean fast search!
• Long buckets mean slow search!
• Small enough to be memory efficient!
• Not an excessive number of elements!
• Fortunately, each array element is just storing a pointer!
• This is OK:!
0
ARRAYSIZE-1
34
What Kind of Hash Function?!
• Good at distributing elements across the array!
• Distribute results over the range 0, 1, …, ARRAYSIZE-1!
• Distribute results evenly to avoid very long buckets!
• This is not so good:!
0
ARRAYSIZE-1
What would be the
worst possible hash
function?!
35
Hashing String Keys to Integers!
• Simple schemes donʼt distribute the keys evenly enough!
• Number of characters, mod ARRAYSIZE!
• Sum the ASCII values of all characters, mod ARRAYSIZE!
• …!
• Hereʼs a reasonably good hash function!
• Weighted sum of characters xi in the string!
• (Σ aixi) mod ARRAYSIZE!
• Best if a and ARRAYSIZE are relatively prime!
• E.g., a = 65599, ARRAYSIZE = 1024!
36
Implementing Hash Function!
• Potentially expensive to compute ai for each value of i!
• Computing ai for each value of I!
• Instead, do (((x[0] * 65599 + x[1]) * 65599 + x[2]) * 65599 + x[3]) * …!
unsigned int hash(const char *x) {
int i;
unsigned int h = 0U;
for (i=0; x[i]!='0'; i++)
h = h * 65599 + (unsigned char)x[i];
return h % 1024;
}
Can be more clever than this for powers of two!!
(Described in Appendix)!

Hash Table Example!
Example: ARRAYSIZE = 7!
Lookup (and enter, if not present) these strings: the, cat, in, the, hat!
Hash table initially empty.!
First word: the. hash(“the”) = 965156977. 965156977 % 7 = 1.!
Search the linked list table[1] for the string “the”; not found.!

Hash Table Performance!
• Create: !fast!
• Add: !fast!
• Search: !fast!
• Free: !slow!
What are the
asymptotic run times
(big-oh notation)?!
Is hash table
search always
fast?!
66
Key Ownership!
• Note: Table_add() functions contain this code:!
• Caller passes key, which is a pointer to memory where a string
resides!
• Table_add() function stores within the table the address where the
string resides!
void Table_add(struct Table *t, const char *key, int value) {
…
struct Node *p = (struct Node*)malloc(sizeof(struct Node));
p->key = key;
…
}
67
Key Ownership (cont.)!
• Problem: Consider this calling code:!
struct Table t;
char k[100] = "Ruth";
…
Table_add(t, k, 3);
strcpy(k, "Gehrig");
…
• Via Table_add(), table contains
memory address k!
• Client changes string at
memory address k!
• Thus client changes key within table!
What happens if the
client searches t for
“Ruth”?!
What happens if the
client searches t for
“Gehrig”?!
68
Key Ownership (cont.)!
• Solution: Table_add() saves copy of given key!
• If client changes string at memory address k, data structure is not
affected!
• Then the data structure “owns” the copy, that is:!
• The data structure is responsible for freeing the memory in which
the copy resides!
• The Table_free() function must free the copy!
void Table_add(struct Table *t, const char *key, int value) {
…
struct Node *p = (struct Node*)malloc(sizeof(struct Node));
p->key = (const char*)malloc(strlen(key) + 1);
strcpy(p->key, key);
…
} Why add 1?!
69
Summary!
• Common data structures & associated algorithms!
• Linked list!
• Fast insert, slow search!
• Hash table!
• Fast insert, (potentially) fast search!
• Invaluable for storing key/value pairs!
• Very common!
• Related issues!
• Hashing algorithms!
• Memory ownership!
70
Appendix!
• “Stupid programmer tricks” related to hash tables…!
71
Revisiting Hash Functions!
• Potentially expensive to compute “mod c”!
• Involves division by c and keeping the remainder!
• Easier when c is a power of 2 (e.g., 16 = 24)!
• An alternative (by example)!
• 53 = 32 + 16 + 4 + 1!
• 53 % 16 is 5, the last four bits of the number!
• Would like an easy way to isolate the last four bits… !

Recall: Bitwise Operators in C!
• Bitwise AND (&)!
• Mod on the cheap!!
• E.g., h = 53 & 15;!
• Bitwise OR (|)!

• Oneʼs complement (~)!
• Turns 0 to 1, and 1 to 0!
• E.g., set last three bits to 0!
• x = x & ~7;!
73
A Faster Hash Function!
unsigned int hash(const char *x) {
int i;
unsigned int h = 0U;
for (i=0; x[i]!='0'; i++)
h = h * 65599 + (unsigned char)x[i];
return h % 1024;
}
unsigned int hash(const char *x) {
int i;
unsigned int h = 0U;
for (i=0; x[i]!='0'; i++)
h = h * 65599 + (unsigned char)x[i];
return h & 1023;
}
Faster!
Previous!
version!
What happens if
you mistakenly
write “h & 1024”?!
74
Speeding Up Key Comparisons!
• Speeding up key comparisons!
• For any non-trivial value comparison function!
• Trick: store full hash result in structure!
int Table_search(struct Table *t,
const char *key, int *value) {
struct Node *p;
int h = hash(key); /* No % in hash function */
for (p = t->array[h%1024]; p != NULL; p = p->next)
if ((p->hash == h) && strcmp(p->key, key) == 0) {
*value = p->value;
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
Why is this so
much faster?!

  • 1. 1 Data Structures and Algorithms ! The material for this lecture is drawn, in part, from! The Practice of Programming (Kernighan & Pike) Chapter 2! Jennifer Rexford !
  • 2. 2 Motivating Quotations! “Every program depends on algorithms and data structures, but few programs depend on the invention of brand new ones.”! -- Kernighan & Pike! “I will, in fact, claim that the difference between a bad programmer and a good one is whether he considers his code or his data structures more important. Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.”! -- Linus Torvalds!
  • 3. 3 Goals of this Lecture! • Help you learn (or refresh your memory) about:! • Common data structures and algorithms! • Why? Shallow motivation:! • Provide examples of pointer-related C code! • Why? Deeper motivation:! • Common data structures and algorithms serve as “high level building blocks”! • A power programmer:! • Rarely creates programs from scratch! • Often creates programs using building blocks!
  • 4. 4 A Common Task! • Maintain a table of key/value pairs! • Each key is a string; each value is an int • Unknown number of key-value pairs! • Examples! • (student name, grade)! • (“john smith”, 84), (“jane doe”, 93), (“bill clinton”, 81)! • (baseball player, number)! • (“Ruth”, 3), (“Gehrig”, 4), (“Mantle”, 7)! • (variable name, value)! • (“maxLength”, 2000), (“i”, 7), (“j”, -10)! • For simplicity, allow duplicate keys (client responsibility)! • In Assignment #3, must check for duplicate keys!!

  • 30. 30 Linked List Performance! • Create: !fast! • Add:! !fast! • Search: !slow! • Free: !slow! Would it be better to keep the nodes sorted by key?! What are the asymptotic run times (big-oh notation)?!
  • 31. 31 Data Structure #2: Hash Table! • Fixed-size array where each element points to a linked list! • Function maps each key to an array index ! • For example, for an integer key h • Hash function: i = h % ARRAYSIZE (mod function)! • Go to array element i, i.e., the linked list hashtab[i] • Search for element, add element, remove element, etc.! 0 ARRAYSIZE-1 struct Node *array[ARRAYSIZE];
  • 32. 32 Hash Table Example! • Integer keys, array of size 5 with hash function “h mod 5” ! • “1776 % 5” is 1! • “1861 % 5” is 1! • “1939 % 5” is 4! 1776 Revolution 1861 Civil 1939 WW2 0 1 2 3 4
  • 33. 33 How Large an Array?! • Large enough that average “bucket” size is 1! • Short buckets mean fast search! • Long buckets mean slow search! • Small enough to be memory efficient! • Not an excessive number of elements! • Fortunately, each array element is just storing a pointer! • This is OK:! 0 ARRAYSIZE-1
  • 34. 34 What Kind of Hash Function?! • Good at distributing elements across the array! • Distribute results over the range 0, 1, …, ARRAYSIZE-1! • Distribute results evenly to avoid very long buckets! • This is not so good:! 0 ARRAYSIZE-1 What would be the worst possible hash function?!
  • 35. 35 Hashing String Keys to Integers! • Simple schemes donʼt distribute the keys evenly enough! • Number of characters, mod ARRAYSIZE! • Sum the ASCII values of all characters, mod ARRAYSIZE! • …! • Hereʼs a reasonably good hash function! • Weighted sum of characters xi in the string! • (Σ aixi) mod ARRAYSIZE! • Best if a and ARRAYSIZE are relatively prime! • E.g., a = 65599, ARRAYSIZE = 1024!
  • 36. 36 Implementing Hash Function! • Potentially expensive to compute ai for each value of i! • Computing ai for each value of I! • Instead, do (((x[0] * 65599 + x[1]) * 65599 + x[2]) * 65599 + x[3]) * …! unsigned int hash(const char *x) { int i; unsigned int h = 0U; for (i=0; x[i]!='0'; i++) h = h * 65599 + (unsigned char)x[i]; return h % 1024; } Can be more clever than this for powers of two!!

  • 65. 65 Hash Table Performance! • Create: !fast! • Add: !fast! • Search: !fast! • Free: !slow! What are the asymptotic run times (big-oh notation)?! Is hash table search always fast?!
  • 66. 66 Key Ownership! • Note: Table_add() functions contain this code:! • Caller passes key, which is a pointer to memory where a string resides! • Table_add() function stores within the table the address where the string resides! void Table_add(struct Table *t, const char *key, int value) { … struct Node *p = (struct Node*)malloc(sizeof(struct Node)); p->key = key; … }
  • 67. 67 Key Ownership (cont.)! • Problem: Consider this calling code:! struct Table t; char k[100] = "Ruth"; … Table_add(t, k, 3); strcpy(k, "Gehrig"); … • Via Table_add(), table contains memory address k! • Client changes string at memory address k! • Thus client changes key within table! What happens if the client searches t for “Ruth”?! What happens if the client searches t for “Gehrig”?!
  • 68. 68 Key Ownership (cont.)! • Solution: Table_add() saves copy of given key! • If client changes string at memory address k, data structure is not affected! • Then the data structure “owns” the copy, that is:! • The data structure is responsible for freeing the memory in which the copy resides! • The Table_free() function must free the copy! void Table_add(struct Table *t, const char *key, int value) { … struct Node *p = (struct Node*)malloc(sizeof(struct Node)); p->key = (const char*)malloc(strlen(key) + 1); strcpy(p->key, key); … } Why add 1?!

  • 71. 71 Revisiting Hash Functions! • Potentially expensive to compute “mod c”! • Involves division by c and keeping the remainder! • Easier when c is a power of 2 (e.g., 16 = 24)! • An alternative (by example)! • 53 = 32 + 16 + 4 + 1! • 53 % 16 is 5, the last four bits of the number! • Would like an easy way to isolate the last four bits… ! 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 2 4 8 16 32 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 2 4 8 16 32
  • 72. 72 Recall: Bitwise Operators in C! • Bitwise AND (&)! • Mod on the cheap!! • E.g., h = 53 & 15;! • Bitwise OR (|)! & 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 | 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 53 & 15 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 5 • Oneʼs complement (~)! • Turns 0 to 1, and 1 to 0! • E.g., set last three bits to 0! • x = x & ~7;!
  • 73. 73 A Faster Hash Function! unsigned int hash(const char *x) { int i; unsigned int h = 0U; for (i=0; x[i]!='0'; i++) h = h * 65599 + (unsigned char)x[i]; return h % 1024; } unsigned int hash(const char *x) { int i; unsigned int h = 0U; for (i=0; x[i]!='0'; i++) h = h * 65599 + (unsigned char)x[i]; return h & 1023; } Faster! Previous! version! What happens if you mistakenly write “h & 1024”?!
  • 74. 74 Speeding Up Key Comparisons! • Speeding up key comparisons! • For any non-trivial value comparison function! • Trick: store full hash result in structure! int Table_search(struct Table *t, const char *key, int *value) { struct Node *p; int h = hash(key); /* No % in hash function */ for (p = t->array[h%1024]; p != NULL; p = p->next) if ((p->hash == h) && strcmp(p->key, key) == 0) { *value = p->value; return 1; } return 0; } Why is this so much faster?!
