Programming Project #21
Due: Sunday, November 1, 2020 at 11:59 PM
1 Objectives
The objective of this programming assignment is to increase your understanding of hashing by
implementing a perfect hashing algorithm and collecting some statistics on its performance.
2 Introduction
In this project, you will implement the perfect hashing scheme using universal hash functions. We
summarize the main ideas here. For details and proofs, please refer to the resources shared with this
assignment.
First, perfect hashing is hashing without collisions. If you hash n items into a table of size n
2
with a randomly chosen hash function, then the probability of not having any collisions is greater
than 1/2 (see Theorem 5.2 in PerfectHashing.pdf). What happens if you are unlucky and you get a
collision? Then, pick another hash function and try again. With independent trials, the expected
number of attempts you have to make in order to achieve zero collisions is less than 2.
Now, a table of size n
2
is really big and a huge waste of memory. So, in our perfect hashing
scheme, we do not directly hash to a table of size n
2
. First, we hash into a primary hash table of
size n. There will be some collisions. To resolve the collisions at a slot of the primary hash table,
we create a secondary hash table. If t items collide at a certain slot of the primary hash table,
then we create a secondary hash table of size t
2 and use perfect hashing to store the t items. The
expected number of slots used by all of the secondary hash tables is less than 2n (see Theorem 5.3
in PerfectHashing.pdf). If you are thinking that this hashing scheme is just separate chaining with
the linked lists replaced by hash tables, that is pretty close — just remember that the linked lists
are replaced by collision-free hash tables.
How do you search for an item in this hash table? You have to hash twice. First, you hash the
item to find its slot in the primary hash table. If that slot is not empty, then you find its slot in the
secondary hash table. If the slot in the secondary hash table is also non-empty, then you compare
the item against the item stored in the secondary hash table. If there is a match, you found the
item. Otherwise, the item is not in the hash table.
Note that each secondary hash table has its own hash function, since it might have been necessary
to try a few hash functions before you found one that did not result in any collisions. So, the hash
function would have to be stored in the secondary hash table.
The perfect hashing scheme described above requires the ability to “randomly pick a hash function”.
In particular, we have to be able to randomly pick a different hash function if the one we
just tried does not work because it resulted in a collision. How do we do that? This is accomplished
by “universal hashing” (see UniversalHashing.pdf). (Never mind the word “universal”. It is a bit
of a misnomer. It should really be called “randomized hashing”, but most people think hashing
is already random, so “randomized random” doesn’t make much sense either. The universal hash
functions provide a method for generating random hash functions. First, we need a prime number p

that is larger than any key that will be hashed. Then, we select two random integers a and b, such
that 1 ≤ a ≤ p − 1 and 0 ≤ b ≤ p − 1. Then, we can define a hash function ha,b() using these two
random integers:
ha,b(X) = ((aX + b) mod p) mod m
where m is the table size (which does not need to be prime in this scheme). Thus, for every pair of
a and b, we get a hash function. The random hash functions chosen this way satisfies the definition
of “universal” and has provably good performance (see Theorem 5.4 in UniversalHashing.pdf).
To hash strings we first convert the string into a number, then we use the hash function above
to guarantee “universality”. In one scheme, we pick a random constant c such that 1 ≤ c ≤ p − 1.
Then, we interpret each character of the string as a number (think ASCII), so a string str becomes
a sequence of numbers: d[0] d[1] d[2] d[3] · · · d[t]. Now we can convert the string into a number:
In a program, we should calculate this value using Horner’s rule.

Also, we would have to make sure that the arithmetic does not result in any overflows. (This can
be accomplished by “modding out” by p at every step.)
The last remaining thing to point out is that this perfect hashing scheme only works if we know
all the keys in advance. (Otherwise, we cannot tell how many items hash into the same slot of the
primary hash table.) There are several applications where we would know the keys in advance. One
example is when we burn files onto a CD or DVD. Once the disc is finalized, no additional files can
be added to the disc. We can construct a perfect hash table of the filenames (perhaps to tell us the
location of the file on the disc) and burn the hash table along with the files onto the disc. Another
example is place names for a GPS device. Names of cities and towns will not change very often. We
can build a perfect hash table for place names. When the GPS device is updated, a new hash table
will have to be constructed, but updates are not frequent events. This last example is the basis of
your programming project.
3 Project Description
In this project you have to apply the perfect hashing scheme described above to a file containing
approximately 350k dictionary words with one word per line. Here are a few lines from the file:
preservations
preservative
preservatives
preservatize
preservatory
preserve
Since implementing universal hash functions can be a little bit tricky, a C++ class Hash24.h
that implements universal hash functions is provided. The 24 in Hash24 indicates that the methods
in the class work with values as large as 224 which is approximately 16 million. This is more than
large enough for the purposes of this project. To use the Hash24 class, simply create a Hash24 object
and then use it to invoke the universal hash function:
Hash24 h1 = new Hash24() ;
...
index = h1.hash("test") ;
2
The Hash24 object h1 “remembers” the randomly chosen a, b and c used in the universal hash
function. So, you can store h1 and retrieve it later and it can be used to compute the same hash
function.
You will implement two separate programs. The first program reads the dictionary words from
a text file, creates a hash table using perfect hashing and stores the hash table in a file. While
creating the hash table, the first program must also print out some statistics about the hash table
(see implementation details). The second program reads in the hash table from a file and executes
the queries on the hash table.
4 Implementation Details
For this project, you should use PA2 dataset.txt available on piazza and gauchospace to build the
hash table. For development purposes, we have also provided a smaller dataset PA2 dataset 10000.txt
with only 10k words.
4.1 Dictionary
Your should create a hash table class called Dictionary which implements the following methods:
• A constructor that takes the name of a file and a primary hash table size:
Dictionary(String fname, int tsize)
This constructor should use the information in the file to construct the hash table using the
perfect hashing scheme described above. The size of the primary hash table should be tsize.
While constructing the hash table, this constructor should print out the following statistics
(see section 4.2.1 for the output format):
– a dump of the hash function used (use dump() from Hash24).
– number of words read in.
– primary hash table size.
– maximum number of collisions in a slot of the primary hash table.
– for each i between 0 and 20 (inclusive), the number of primary hash table slots that have
i collisions.
– all the words in the primary hash table slot that has the largest number of collisions. If
there is more than one such slot, pick one arbitrarily.
– for each j between 1 and 20 (inclusive), the number of secondary hash tables that tried
j hash functions in order to find a hash function that did not result in any collisions for
the secondary hash table. Include only the cases where at least 2 words hashed to the
same primary hash table slot. (i.e., we exclude the primary hash table slots that did not
have any collisions from the calculations.)
– The average number of hash functions tried per slot of the primary hash table that had
at least two items. (As before, we exclude the primary hash table slots that did not have
any collisions from the calculations.
Note that this constructor cannot begin constructing secondary hash tables until all of the
data have been read in. So, construction of the hash table takes two passes. The first pass
reads in each word from the file and figures out where it belongs in the primary hash table.
The second pass looks at each slot in the primary hash table and creates a secondary hash
table for each slot where this is needed.

• bool find(String word) ;
The find() method should query the hash table for the string word and return true if is
present in the hash table else return false.
This method should have O(1) time complexity.
• void writeToFile(String fName) ;
The writeToFile() method stores the hash table in a file with the given filename using C++’s
write() function from fstream library.
Note that write() will write the entire hash table to a binary file in one step. The write()
method will also recursively follow all references in an object and write the objects that are
referenced as well.
• Dictionary readFromFile(String fName) ;
The readFromFile() method will read an entire Dictionary class object from the file with
the given filename using C++’s read() function from fstream library.
Note that readFromFile() should be a static method because we do not yet have a Dictionary
object until we have created one from the file. Thus, readFromFile() must be invoked using
the Dictionary class name (i.e Dictionary::readFromFile()).
4.2 Input and Output
4.2.1 First Program
Your first program should take two filenames as parameters. Gradescope will pass the dataset filename
via argv[1] and the output filename (for storing the hash table) via argv[2].

4.2.2 Second Program
Your second program should take two parameters i) filename and ii) comma-separated string of
queries. Gradescope will pass the filename via argv[1] and a string of queries via argv[2]. For each
query, you should print some output (see example below) indicating whether the query is present in
the hash table or not.
Example:
./project2 second.out dictionary.txt “hello, welcome, to, cs130a”
Sample Output:
hello found
welcome found
5
to found
cs130a not found
The project needs to be implemented in C++ and uploaded to Gradescope’s “Project 2” assignment.
It will be graded using autograder, so be very precise about the input and output formats
discussed above. Your submission should contain source files along with a makefile. The names
of the executables generated by makefile must be project2 first.out for the first program and
project2 second.out for the second program. Please note that it is possible that your program
could have some unexpected behavior on Gradescope’s autograder compared to whatever machine
you wrote the code on, so submit your program early and make sure it is bug free on Gradescope.
You are to implement your own Hash Table, so do not use any library that automatically does this
for you (i.e. it is NOT OK to use STL containers other than vector, string and fstream). Gradescope
score will be manually overridden if any such library is used.
Note: In order to check your program thoroughly, we will manually look at the Dictionary class
implementation and output statistics from running project2 first.out on PA2 dataset.txt file. Please
make sure you name the executables as mentioned above (this can be done using makefile). Not
adhering to the instruction might result in significant delays in grading or no score for the assignment.
