Rehashing
Med The size of the hash table is not determinate at the very beginning. If the total size of keys is too large (e.g. size >= capacity / 10), we should double the size of the hash table and rehash every keys. Say you have a hash table looks like below:
size=3, capacity=4
[null, 21, 14, null] ↓ ↓ 9 null ↓ null The hash function is:
int hashcode(int key, int capacity) { return key % capacity; } here we have three numbers, 9, 14 and 21, where 21 and 9 share the same position as they all have the same hashcode 1 (21 % 4 = 9 % 4 = 1). We store them in the hash table by linked list.
rehashing this hash table, double the capacity, you will get:
size=3, capacity=8
index: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 hash : [null, 9, null, null, null, 21, 14, null] Given the original hash table, return the new hash table after rehashing .
