Conclusion:
In this practical, we implemented sorting algorithms like Bubble Sort, Merge Sort, Quick
Sort, and others, each with unique strengths and complexities. We also explored Linear
Search and Binary Search for data retrieval.
- Simple algorithms work best for small datasets, while optimized ones like Quick Sort and
Binary Search are suited for larger inputs.
- Understanding time complexity helps in choosing the right technique based on efficiency
needs.
These techniques are essential for writing optimized and efficient code in real-world
applications.
Conclusion:
In this practical, we explored various hashing techniques in Java, which provide efficient
ways to store and retrieve data. Hashing uses a hash function to map keys to specific indices
in a hash table, ensuring fast access. Techniques like chaining (using linked lists) and open
addressing (linear probing, quadratic probing, and double hashing) were implemented to
handle collisions.
Hashing ensures constant-time (O(1)) average-case access for search, insert, and delete
operations.
Collision handling is crucial to maintain performance.
Hashing plays a vital role in real-world applications such as databases, caches, and sets.
