Interface MinimalPerfectHash.UniversalHash<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type

All Known Implementing Classes:

MinimalPerfectHash.LongHash, MinimalPerfectHash.StringHash

Enclosing class:

MinimalPerfectHash<K>

public static interface MinimalPerfectHash.UniversalHash<T>

An interface that can calculate multiple hash values for an object. The returned hash value of two distinct objects may be the same for a given hash function index, but as more hash functions indexes are called for those objects, the returned value must eventually be different.

The returned value does not need to be uniformly distributed.

Method Summary

int	hashCode(T o, int index, int seed) Calculate the hash of the given object.

Method Detail

hashCode

int hashCode(T o,
             int index,
             int seed)

Calculate the hash of the given object.

Parameters:

o - the object

index - the hash function index (index 0 is used first, so the method should be very fast with index 0; index 1 and so on are only called when really needed)

seed - the random seed (always the same for a hash table)

Returns:

the hash value
