An hash array dictonary step by step
#3
Great post Tempodi.

Here is an implementation by luke on the old qb64.org site, which I added a menu and test harness to. 
I finally got arround to adding a logical delete operation. 

I'll have to compare code to see if & how the general method used differs from your examples, 
and maybe do a speed test to see if there is any difference.

Code: (Select All)
Dim Shared m_sTitle As String: m_sTitle = "dictionary-test"
_Title m_sTitle ' display in the Window's title bar

' QB64 implementation of a dictionary / associative array,
' based on an algorithm by luke at qb64.org.

Const FALSE = 0
Const TRUE = Not FALSE
Const cIntDictSize = 1000
Const cIntLookupSize = 32767

' Object to store in the symbol table
Type DictionaryType
    key As String
    intValue As Integer
    lngValue As Long
    strValue As String
    IsDeleted As Integer

Dim Shared ProgramPath$: ProgramPath$ = Left$(Command$(0), _InStrRev(Command$(0), "\"))
Dim Shared ProgramName$: ProgramName$ = Mid$(Command$(0), _InStrRev(Command$(0), "\") + 1)

' Actual stored obejcts
Dim Shared m_arrDict(cIntDictSize) As DictionaryType

' Mapping between hash and index

' My interpreter uses a hash table for storing program symbols.
' I've pulled it out and added a small demo program.
'
' It does a proper hashing of the contents and can support any
' kind of data for the "value" half because it works with a UDT,
' but it does require two SHARED arrays and a SHARED variable.
' I suppose if you really wanted to you could convert it to a
' _MEM based thing with keep it all as local variables,
' but I only needed one instance of the table in my case.
