Quadratic Probing And Linear Probing : Java Program Source Code

Quadratic Probing and Linear Probing are the techniques to avoid collision in the hash tables . Suppose the hash value generated  is already occupied in the hash table , then quadratic probing or linear probing helps to find a lace in the hash table .
linear probing

Quadratic Probing takes arbitrary quadratic polynomial and add it to the original hash index . The arbitrary quadratic polynomial is added till the hash value generated is not occupied in the hash table .

It works on the following formula

For a original hash index H , H+1*1 , H+2*2 ,H+3*3 ,H+4*4......

Linear Probing is somewhat easy  , it search sequentially in the hash table for a given hash value . It does not involve any arbitrary polynomial value .

Linear probing including two values one is starting value and other is interval value . If the hash value is occupied at starting point then the next hash value is calculated by adding the interval value to the starting value . If , it is also occupied in the hash table , then again we add interval value to the hash value generated .
Then again we keep looking for the hash value for which the hash table has no entry .

It works on the following formula

For a starting value H and interval value 1   :   H, H+1,H+2 , H+3,H+4.....

Pseudo code is given below :

Quadratic Probing algorithm  to insert key in the hash table

1. Retrieve key k
2. Compute hash function h[k] = k % size of the table
3. If hash table is empty at the computed hash value place
          then insert key at h[k]
    else
     we need to find another empty place in the hash table to insert the key in the hash table
        3.1    Use quadratic probing to compute the hash value of the key again   
        3.2    If   hash table place is empty then insert key at h[k] and exit
                 else
                 Repeat 3.1 step again

                  keep adding some constant value to the computed hash value .

                  else 
                  Repeat  3.1 step again .
