There are so many things wrong with this 'explanation' I'm not surprised that a half wit like you is impressed by this video. You defininetly have no idea what he is saying here. And he is talking utter nonsense.
Now this is a real education , so well described, you got the real tallent sir, really appreciating. You teaching approach can make anyone from zero to hero
"indices are calculated from the data" thats literally all I needed to understand hash tables but surpirsingly I've never heard it once when people have mentioned them. Of course the bit on how to handle collisions was useful as well
Exactly - that is the essence of a hash table - it's that simple. A basic understanding of how physical RAM works explains why one memory location can can be accessed just as quickly as any other. :)KD
For me that part was intuitive, but I didn't understand how you would deal with that process creating multiple entries in the same index. This video was a big aha moment.
That is exactly what i thought. Exactly that one piece of information that i was missing. I have no idea why that was never made clear anywhere else i looked.
CS 260 student here and Chat GPT recommended this video. I can see why, this was so helpful as someone who literally has never coded a hash table into a project yet this video is exciting to see how I can store data and access it. Now I cant wait to start coding this into a project!
Some Profs can, of course, explain what is hash table, but you just do that in about 10 mins!!! Your explanation is so clear and easy to understand, I think that is what students are looking for! Thank you Sir!
The video is very, very, very well made. That's a great deal of information in just under 14 minutes, and it is very clearly presented. You've more than earned a new subscriber.
I don't normally comment on videos but this was the most helpful explanation of what a hash table is and how to use one. I have been looking for good articles and videos for a couple of hours before I found this video! So thank you!
This video is a small miracle in the way it so concisely and clearly explains the concept. If the same technique was applied to all college-level computer science concepts, you'd finish your CS degree in 18 months.
I just found this. As a professional with 30 year experience with data analysis you are spot on, well explained. I subscribed and set notifications on, hope to see plenty more from you.
I was about to give up on understanding Hash Tables and then finally i find this video that makes it so damn clear and comprehensible. I don't know why, but that one piece of information that tells us, that the position in the array is CALCULATED using the content of the key is never mentioned anywhere, while to me that was the most important piece of the puzzle. Thanks a lot!
You are most welcome. Another part to the puzzle is realizing that a single memory address is actually a row reference and a column reference. Hence one memory location can be accessed just as quickly as any other. You might light my series about DRAM. :)KD
Fantastic. Not only did you lay out the problem well, and explain how hash tables work but you even set a good example of what any kind of teaching should be.
Fantastic tutorial. Just perfect pace, perfect intonation, perfect graphics and perfect depth to explain the topic to non-educated programmers like me. Subscribed!
i have been searching on youtube for almost an hour but couldnt find an appropriate video of explanation of hash table until i find this video .....beautifull explanation
I have reviewed several UA-cam explanations about hash tables and hash functions, and none come close to this one. It was clear and to the point. Great job and thank you!
Holy shit! You made it sound like a piece of cake. I've been hearing about hash tables for so long and always thought it must be a rocket science until now. Hats off to you sir
I was getting tired after watching a bunch of videos on this subject and at the beginning of this one I was about to close it because I thought it's not gonna be engaging enough. I'm so glad I didn't, this was so interesting to watch and you explain it so simple and well. Thank you very much sir!!!
Have an organized and well-structured presentation helps students a bunch when introducing such new concepts. Instead, my dear professor just freestyled and droned forever during class. What a difference you made sir. Thank you
I seriously appreciate the amount of clarity you have before delving in and making the concept much more easier and understandable. Seriously appreciate your explanation and presentation. Keep up and continue the good work.
I just stumbled upon your video and I must say, you did an amazing job! Your clear and concise explanation helped me understand the concept better than any textbook or lecture ever could. Your use of examples and visual aids made the topic so much easier to grasp.
Excellent video! I spent the last half of my 34 years in IT working with the Advanced Pick and Unidata databases which depend heavily upon hashed access. The key to efficiency is selecting the right modulus when creating your file. Too small and you get too many collisions, too large and you waste space. The multivalue database concept goes back to the mid-60’s, but it is still hard to beat for efficiency and ease of use.
My compsci professor is useless. I'm subscribing to this channel as it will really help me to get through the remaining 3 years of my compsci degree. Thank you for your work!
One _very important_ case against open addressing is that any case where the key is not contained in the hash map can only be resolved in O(n) time, that is a time linear to the length of the whole map. Closed addressing can resolve this by simply traversing the much shorter list at the respective key. No matter if databases, caches or many other use cases, looking up a missing key is a very common situation.
That shouldn't matter much if the load factor is kept low and the hash function has a good distribution, but yeah it is a possibility lol A uniform distribution with 50% load factor will give you an average of just 1 miss
Best explanation I have heard yet to explain hash tables, bravo. To me when I think of what is an elegant solution to a complicated problem, it doesn't get much better than this kind of thing.
LOVED IT. i don't know why the lecturers at my university aren't teaching like this. i felt i wasted my two hour at the lecture hall learning a fraction of what i just did in 15 min.
Mostly... Beatrice Tinsley (Astronomer) Tim Berners Lee (Computer Scientist of WWW fame) Leo Adelman (Mathematician of RSA fame) Jan Łukasiewicz (Logician of reverse Polish notation fame) Lou Kauffman (Mathematician - of polynomial fame) Max Newman (Mathematician and code breaker) Ada Lovelace(Computer Scientist) Ted Nelson (Computer Scientist and Philosopher) Sam (Sam Malone - the guy in Cheers) Mia (the space station) Zoe (Zoe Saldana - Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Trek)
ı've been listening for a whole year from my professor and couldnt understand any of these... now even i cant believe that i got the point . thank you so much
I speak Spanish natively and I am trying to improve my English (everybody says that English opens doors and I am trying to open them), watching this video has been a double gain for me because I have understood perfectly the video and consequently I have understood how the Hash tables work, a respect for who has made this video.
this is the most beautiful explanation of hashing I've ever come across. Well done! All the other vids take a cryptic description and focus more on big ideas like blockchaining and encryption/security. Having a nice bit-sized chunk really helps out! Thanks!
I would like it if videos like this transitioned to such bigger concepts after giving a good foundational understanding like this. Would be real helpful, especially for beginners looking to advance.
What??? This is probably the most insane condensation of information I have ever seen. My professors put up a 2 hour lecture, with an additional 1 hour lecture of extra material if we needed it. Had no fking idea what they were talking about. This video, I completely understand it. Thanks.
You already got tons of love in the comments, but you deserve one more. Very well explained with simple, yet very useful, animations. Thank you very much for the great work! :-)
I don`t know what to say, suddenly the Hash Table became so easy to understand from an almost panic point. Thank you so much, I wish many other lecturers could give an explanation such as this one.
You deserve my data structures professor's salary
Why not send him a link to my channel :)
mine too. serves no purpose
Ha ha ha rofl
Bang on, I was thinking the same :-)
Haha x) Great video Kevin!
Why did I spend all that money on an engineering degree, when all I needed was this channel!!!
Thanks for the complement. University does have it's benefits :)KD
Before 14 minutes, I thought I will never understand Hash Tables.
Good work and Thank you.
They are actually quite simple in principal aren't they! Thanks for the comment.
We got the reason here why they are used and how ... then it's very easy to use them in the right way !
same here, this video is so cool.
