LeetCode #706 Design HashMap

Easy

Problem

Design a HashMap without using any built-in hash table libraries.

To be specific, your design should include these functions:

  • put(key, value) : Insert a (key, value) pair into the HashMap. If the value already exists in the HashMap, update the value.
  • get(key): Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped, or -1 if this map contains no mapping for the key.
  • remove(key) : Remove the mapping for the value key if this map contains the mapping for the key.

Example:

MyHashMap hashMap = new MyHashMap();
hashMap.put(1, 1);
hashMap.put(2, 2);
hashMap.get(1); // returns 1
hashMap.get(3); // returns -1 (not found)
hashMap.put(2, 1); // update the existing value
hashMap.get(2); // returns 1
hashMap.remove(2); // remove the mapping for 2
hashMap.get(2); // returns -1 (not found)

Note:

  • All keys and values will be in the range of [0, 1000000].
  • The number of operations will be in the range of [1, 10000].
  • Please do not use the built-in HashMap library.

Solution

Like #705, because we know the range of key is between 0 and 1000000, we can use a big array to save the value of every key.

Complexity

All are O(1) time but lots of space are wasted.
