A Hash Function must be deterministicand stateless. That is, the return value must depend only on the argument, and equal arguments must yield equal results.<P>The performance of a <A href="HashedAssociativeContainer.html">Hashed Associative Container</A> dependscrucially on its hash function. It is important for a Hash Functionto minimize collisions, where a collision is defined as two differentarguments that hash to the same value. It is also important that thedistribution of hash values be uniform; that is, the probability thata Hash Function returns any particular value of type <tt>size_t</tt> shouldbe roughly the same as the probability that it returns any othervalue. <A href="#1">[1]</A><h3>Refinement of</h3><A href="UnaryFunction.html">Unary Function</A><h3>Associated types</h3><Table border><TR><TD VAlign=top>Result type</TD><TD VAlign=top>The type returned when the Hash Function is called.

To take asimple example, suppose that the values being hashed are the sixstrings "aardvark", "trombone", "history", "diamond", "forthright",and "solitude". In this case, one reasonable (and efficient) hashfunction would simply be the first character of each string. On theother hand, suppose that the values being hashed are "aaa0001","aaa0010", "aaa0011", "aaa0100", "aaa0101", and "aaa0110". In thatcase, a different hash function would be more appropriate. This iswhy <A href="HashedAssociativeContainer.html">Hashed Associative Containers</A> are parameterized by the hashfunction: no one hash function is best for all applications. <h3>See also</h3><A href="HashedAssociativeContainer.html">Hashed Associative Container</A>, <tt><A href="hash.html">hash</A></tt><!--start footer--> <HR SIZE="6"><A href="http://www.sgi.com/"><IMG SRC="surf.gif" HEIGHT="54" WIDTH="54" ALT="[Silicon Surf]"></A><A HREF="index.html"><IMG SRC="stl_home.gif" HEIGHT="54" WIDTH="54" ALT="[STL Home]"></A><BR><FONT SIZE="-2"><A href="http://www.sgi.com/Misc/sgi_info.html" TARGET="_top">Copyright © 1999 Silicon Graphics, Inc.</A> All Rights Reserved.</FONT><FONT SIZE="-3"><a href="http://www.sgi.com/Misc/external.list.html" TARGET="_top">TrademarkInformation</A></FONT><P></BODY></HTML> ⌨️ 快捷键说明
