For
many applications, hashing provides the
|
|
|
most
efficient way to use an ADT Table.
|
|
|
| • |
But,
you should be aware that hashing IS NOT
|
|
|
designed
to support traversing an entire table of
|
|
items
and have them appear in sorted order.
|
|
|
| • |
Notice
that a hash function scatters items
|
|
|
randomly
throughout the table...so that there is
|
|
|
no
ordering relationship between search keys
|
|
|
and
adjacent items in the table
