s 1 Definition of search Search table is collection constituted By the same types of data elements (or record), because the elements in the collection has loose relationship to each other, so search table is a facilitating application data structure. Basic operation of search table Search a specific data element in the search table Search the properties of a specific data element 米 Insert a data element into the search table Delete a data element in the search table
Search table is collection constituted By the same types of data elements (or record), because the elements in the collection has loose relationship to each other , so search table is a facilitating application data structure. Basic operation of search table: ▪Search a specific data element in the search table ； ▪Search the properties of a specific data element； ▪Insert a data element into the search table； ▪Delete a data element in the search table §1 Definition of search
The classification of search table Static search table only for querying and searching Dynamic search table In the process of searching in the search table insert the inexistent data elements or remove a pre-existing data elements at the same time. Such table is called dynamic search table
Static search table only for querying and searching。 Dynamic search table In the process of searching in the search table , insert the inexistent data elements or remove a pre-existing data elements at the same time. Such table is called dynamic search table. The classification of search table：
Keyword it is a value of property of a data element (or record) to identify the data element(or record). If keyword can be identified only as a record, said that the " primary keyword. If keyword can identify a number of records, said that the" general keyword
Keyword it is a value of property of a data element (or record) to identify the data element( or record). If keyword can be identified only as a record, said that the “primary keyword." If keyword can identify a number of records, said that the “general keyword
Searching According to a giving value, search the table to return data element whose keyword equal to the value If search table has this data element(or record) then call search successful and return. the entire record or the position of it in the table else call search failed and return. null record or null pointer
According to a giving value, search the table to return a data element whose keyword equal to the value. If search table has this data element(or record) then call ”search successful”, and return：the entire record or the position of it in the table； else call“search failed” ,and return：null record or null pointer. Searching
How to search Searching method depends on the structure of the search table As the data elements in the search table does not exist obvious relation, it is not easy to find In order to improve the efficiency of finding, it is need to attach artificial relationship among records. in other words, to use a different structure to implement search table
How to search？ Searching method depends on the structure of the search table. As the data elements in the search table does not exist obvious relation, it is not easy to find. In order to improve the efficiency of finding , it is need to attach artificial relationship among records. in other words, to use a different structure to implement search table
evaluate searching method Search speed How much storage space occupied Complexity of the algorithm ASL(Average Search Length): To ascertain the position of record in the table, and the expect number of key word comparing with the giving value To the table with n records ASL=>p,c, P, is the probability of the ith record in the table >P,=l C, is the number of keyword comparing

Each type of data elements contain the same type keyword, marking the only data elements Data relation: data elements belongs to a collection
ADT definition of static search table: ADT StaticSearchTable { It is a collection composed by the same characteristics data elements. Each type of data elements contain the same type keyword, marking the only data elements. Data relation R：data elements belongs to a collection Data object D: §2 static search table
