Build working implementations of hash tables, written in the C programming language. This book starts with simple first attempts devoid of collision resolution strategies, and moves through improvements and extensions illustrating different design ideas and approaches, followed by experiments to validate the choices. Hash tables, when implemented and used appropriately, are exceptionally efficient data structures for representing sets and lookup tables, providing low overhead, constant time, insertion, deletion, and lookup operations. The Joys of Hashing walks you through the implementation of efficient hash tables and the pros and cons of different design choices when building tables. The source code used in the book is available on GitHub for your re-use and experiments.

Myth in the Modern Novel: Imagining the Absolute posits a twofold thesis. First, although Modernity is regarded as an era dominated by science and rational thought, it has in fact not relinquished the hold of myth, a more "primitive" form of thought which is difficult to reconcile with modern rationality. Second, some of the most important statements as to the reconcilability of myth and Modernity are found in the work of certain prominent novelists. This book offers a close examination of the work of eleven writers from the late eighteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first, representing German, French, American, Czech and Swedish literature. The analyses of individual novels reveal a variety of intriguing views of myth in Modernity, and offer an insight into the "modernizing" transformations myth has undergone when applied in the modern novel. The study shows the presence of the "subconscious", the mythic layer, in modern western culture and how this has been dealt with in novelistic literature.

Implement practical data structures and algorithms for text search and discover how it is used inside other larger applications. This unique in-depth guide explains string algorithms using the C programming language. String Algorithms in C teaches you the following algorithms and how to use them: classical exact search algorithms; tries and compact tries; suffix trees and arrays; approximative pattern searches; and more. In this book, author Thomas Mailund provides a library with all the algorithms and applicable source code that you can use in your own programs. There are implementations of all the algorithms presented in this book so there are plenty of examples. You’ll understand that string algorithms are used in various applications such as image processing, computer vision, text analytics processing from data science to web applications, information retrieval from databases, network security, and much more. What You Will Learn Use classical exact search algorithms including naive search, borders/border search, Knuth-Morris-Pratt, and Boyer-Moor with or without Horspool Search in trees, use tries and compact tries, and work with the Aho-Carasick algorithm Process suffix trees including the use and development of McCreight’s algorithm Work with suffix arrays including binary searches; sorting naive constructions; suffix tree construction; skew algorithms; and the Borrows-Wheeler transform (BWT) Deal with enhanced suffix arrays including longest common prefix (LCP) Carry out approximative pattern searches among suffix trees and approximative BWT searches Who This Book Is For Those with at least some prior programming experience with C or Assembly and have at least prior experience with programming algorithms.
