To update values stored in a hash table based on keys, we can add a method called updateValue
. This method takes a key and a new value as input and updates the value associated with the key in the hash table.
Here's an example implementation of the updateValue
method in Java:
TEXT/X-JAVA
1// Create a HashTable class
2class HashTable {
3 // Define the initial size of the hash table
4 private final int INITIAL_SIZE = 16;
5 // Use an array of HashEntry objects to represent the hash table
6 private HashEntry[] entries;
7
8 // Constructor
9 public HashTable() {
10 entries = new HashEntry[INITIAL_SIZE];
11 }
12
13 // Method to insert key-value pairs into the hash table
14 public void put(String key, String value) {
15 // Calculate the index based on the hash code of the key
16 int index = getIndex(key);
17
18 // Create a new HashEntry object
19 HashEntry entry = new HashEntry(key, value);
20
21 // Check if the index is empty
22 if (entries[index] == null) {
23 entries[index] = entry;
24 } else {
25 // Traverse the chain of entries at the index
26 HashEntry current = entries[index];
27
28 // Check if the key already exists
29 while (current.next != null) {
30 if (current.key.equals(key)) {
31 // Key already exists, update the value
32 current.value = value;
33 return;
34 }
35
36 current = current.next;
37 }
38
39 // Check the last entry
40 if (current.key.equals(key)) {
41 // Key already exists, update the value
42 current.value = value;
43 } else {
44 // Add the new entry to the end of the chain
45 current.next = entry;
46 }
47 }
48 }
49
50 // Method to update the value associated with a key in the hash table
51 public void updateValue(String key, String value) {
52 // Calculate the index based on the hash code of the key
53 int index = getIndex(key);
54
55 // Traverse the chain of entries at the index
56 HashEntry entry = entries[index];
57
58 // Check if the key exists
59 while (entry != null) {
60 if (entry.key.equals(key)) {
61 // Key found, update the value
62 entry.value = value;
63 return;
64 }
65
66 entry = entry.next;
67 }
68 }
69
70 // Method to calculate the index based on the hash code of the key
71 private int getIndex(String key) {
72 int hashCode = key.hashCode();
73 int index = Math.abs(hashCode) % entries.length;
74
75 return index;
76 }
77
78 // Inner class to represent the entries in the hash table
79 private class HashEntry {
80 private final String key;
81 private String value;
82 private HashEntry next;
83
84 public HashEntry(String key, String value) {
85 this.key = key;
86 this.value = value;
87 this.next = null;
88 }
89 }
90}
