Step1 Presentation of project
Just to keep in theme of the dictionary structure data made by array in QB64, here we attempt to build a dictionary with hash index.
We start from here
Code: (Select All) 'Assosziatives Array: https://jeff.win/qbhash/
'28. Feb. 2023
Type element
tag As String * 10
value As String * 10
End Type
Dim Shared aa(10) As element
Dim Shared aalast ' Last occupied AA() element
setvalue "foo", "bar"
setvalue "foo", "coffee"
Print getvalue$("foo") ' prints bar also after adding coffee
End
Function getvalue$ (tag As String)
tag = LTrim$(RTrim$(tag))
tag = tag + String$(10 - Len(tag), " ")
For i = 0 To aalast
If (tag = aa(i).tag) Then
getvalue$ = aa(i).value
Exit Function
End If
Next
End Function
Sub setvalue (tag As String, value As String)
aa(aalast).tag = tag
aa(aalast).value = value
aalast = aalast + 1
End Sub
this code has been taken from this article on this webpage QBHash
this demo is very simple and with many limitations that cannot let us think about it like a real dictonary data structure.
What is the data structure coded has these features: you can store more than one value linked to the tag value; moreover these collisions (new values linked to the tag) are stored into different cells of the array. The author to get this result used an external index/counter (AALAST). In the while the GetValue SUB is broken because it returns only the first value linked to the string index.
However here more information.
Issues:
1 the value stored can fit only 10 characters (ASCII values)
Code: (Select All) Type element
tag As String * 10 ' <----- hash value stored as a string of 10 characters that is searched sequentially
value As String * 10 '<----- max 10 character for value
End Type
2 the hash index is not direct but searched rowly from the start to the end of arrayList
Code: (Select All) Function getvalue$ (tag As String)
tag = LTrim$(RTrim$(tag))
tag = tag + String$(10 - Len(tag), " ")
For i = 0 To aalast
If (tag = aa(i).tag) Then
getvalue$ = aa(i).value
Exit Function
End If
Next
End Function
3 the store value routine does not avoid that the hashindex value has no duplicates.
Code: (Select All) Sub setvalue (tag As String, value As String)
aa(aalast).tag = tag
aa(aalast).value = value
aalast = aalast + 1
End Sub
4 the search value routine get the first cell of the array that has the hashvalue searched
Code: (Select All) If (tag = aa(i).tag) Then
getvalue$ = aa(i).value
Exit Function
End If
Now we try to work to solve these issues.

Step 2 transformation of the Hash Table
in the first post we have a Hash Table that uses an UDT to store key and value, the access to the value is performed with a sequential search until we find the wanted key and so we can get the value related. This hash table managed the collision shifting the next value associated for the same key to the next available cell empty . When we search for a key we get the first value that has been stored in the table at the lower/higher position depending from the order of reading of the table ascending/descending.
In this second post we transform the original Hash Table making variable the lenght of the index and the lenght of value stored. Moreover after populating the hash table with a FOR loop, the Hash table has a direct access to the value using the index without any FOR/DO/WHILE sequential search . For now the collision activates an overwriting of the previous value. But this is one of the 3 available solutions (:overwrite, shifting and listing) for this kind of datatype
IMHO code has enough comments to be almost clear:
Code: (Select All) '----------model of hash table with string index------------
Type HashTable
index As String '<---variable lenght of string index
value As String '<--- variable lenght of value stored
End Type
'-----------------------------------------------------------
Dim HashString(0 To 10) As HashTable '<--- instance of hashtable
' ------------ INITIALIZATION made using a single character ------
For c = 64 To 74 Step 1
Call StoreValue(Chr$(c), String$(Int(c / 10), (c + 1)), HashString())
Next
'-----------------------------------------------------------------
'----------------SHOWING hashtable filled---------------
For c = 0 To 10
Print c, HashString(c).index, HashString(c).value
Next c
'-------------------------------------------------------
'extracting some value directly from table without FOR loop and comparison
Print GetValue$("A", HashString())
Print GetValue$("E", HashString())
Print GetValue$("H", HashString())
End
'-------------- subroutines/ Functions' area --------------------
' this function returns the value linked in the table H
' to the index IND
Function GetValue$ (ind As String, H() As HashTable)
GetValue$ = H(GetIndex(ind)).value
End Function
'this subroutine stores a value VALU linked to the index IND
' in the hashtable HASH
' In this implementation the SUB overwrites thre previouse value
' stored into the hashtable if it happens a collision
' but this behaviour can be easily changed for storing the new value
' or in OPEN (searching the next cell with no value into it)
' or in list adding the value to the string already staying in hashtable
Sub StoreValue (ind As String, valu As String, Hash() As HashTable)
Hash(GetIndex(ind)).index = ind
Hash(GetIndex(ind)).value = valu
End Sub
' this function calculates the Hash value for storing in the hashtable
' the linked value
Function GetIndex% (i As String)
Dim a As Integer, k As _Integer64, hash As _Integer64
k = 1
For a = 1 To Len(i)
hash = hash + ((Asc(i, a)) * k)
k = k * 10
Next a
GetIndex% = hash Mod 10
End Function
Welcome ideas, constructive criticisms, other code demonstrations and all you, kind people of QB64, want to share about these arguments.

Great post Tempodi.
Here is an implementation by luke on the old qb64.org site, which I added a menu and test harness to.
I finally got arround to adding a logical delete operation.
I'll have to compare code to see if & how the general method used differs from your examples,
and maybe do a speed test to see if there is any difference.
Code: (Select All) Dim Shared m_sTitle As String: m_sTitle = "dictionary-test"
_Title m_sTitle ' display in the Window's title bar
' QB64 implementation of a dictionary / associative array,
' based on an algorithm by luke at qb64.org.

Const cIntLookupSize = 32767

' It does a proper hashing of the contents and can support any

...
Welcome ideas, constructive criticisms, other code demonstrations and all you, kind people of QB64, want to share about these arguments.
I finally got around to putting your hash array dictionary and the one I built (based on Luke Ceddia's code) into a program with a little speed test, and yours is much faster!
(Code is below.)
The Luke version has some extra code to check for duplicates and whatnot, so that could be causing it to be slower.
Any ideas what the main bottleneck is?
What would be nice would be to take the best of both, to get some extra features and the speed...

' My interpreter uses a hash table for storing program symbols.
' I've pulled it out and added a small demo program.
'
' It does a proper hashing of the contents and can support any
' kind of data for the "value" half because it works with a UDT,
' but it does require two SHARED arrays and a SHARED variable.
' I suppose if you really wanted to you could convert it to a
' _MEM based thing with keep it all as local variables,
' but I only needed one instance of the table in my case.

' One caveat here: You *can* experience bugs with this after midnight.
'
' Program starts at 23:59:59.
' Add three seconds -- 24:00:02... (In seconds, and not hours and minutes like this, though hours and minutes are easier to visualize.)
' Clock hits midnight: 0:00:00
'
' At no point will you ever have TIMER become greater than t#.
'
' If you're going to have a program which might run into this issue,
' I'd suggest just plugging in my ExtendedTimer and use it instead:
'
' Most of us write time code to test little snippets for which method might
' be faster for us while we're coding. The clock resetting on us isn't
' normally such a big deal. When it is, however, all you have to do is
' swap to the ExtendedTimer function [below]
'
' Returns a value for you based off DAY + TIME, rather than just time alone!
' No midnight clock issues with something like that in our programs. ;)
' Example using regular Timer:
' t# = Timer + 3
' Do
' '(SOMETHING)
' Loop Until Timer > t#
' Usage:
' ' DO SOMETHING FOR 3 SECONDS
' t# = ExtendedTimer1 + 3
' Do
' '(SOMETHING)

Hi Madscijr
thanks for running demo posted here above.
The hash dictionary made by Luke is very professional with a structured code in library to add in tail to the main program or to use as .BI e .BM files!
Luke has left reference to all the webpages used as original ideas ipmomrte into his work or inspirations for his code.
this webpage is still active but it does not give so many information about hashes algorithms, only few informations good for who has alreay a good knowledge of hash methods.
your demo made with that library runs good.
Now I'll try the comparing methods demonstration.
See later!

@Madscijr
after copying, pasting and running your last code, I got this error
![[Image: image.png]](https://i.ibb.co/mRHZ9Qy/image.png)
in which on running the line 380 gives a duplicate name error.
Looking at code in the line 380 of code of the library of Luke simply I see that it has been expanded the SHARED array m_arrLookUp...
This array has been declared at line 45 as SHARED.
This is a strange result, because running your demo the SUB ExpandArrayIfNeed has been called when I have put as input the choice 3. Write with no runtime error.

Hmm. I was using QB64 2.0.2 for this, maybe there is an incompatibility?
I went to try with QB64PE 3.6.0 and am getting compilation errors on a simple test program
Code: (Select All) Cls
Print "hello world"
Sleep
so I will need to fix that, before I can recreate your issue.
(I just posted a plea for help in the "help me" section...)
Stay tuned!

It doesn't matter which version of QB64 or PE for this code, but it has to be fixed. I haven't run the program listed here with the fix I'm proposing below. The array with the error was originally initialized "As Long", but that was forgotten in the error line. (Otherwise it's trying to redefine "As Single", because there's no _DEFINE statement or alike which changes the "default" type, which is not allowed.) So if you can try this code again with the version of QB64 that is working for you.
Code: (Select All) ReDim m_arrLookup(ubm_arrLookup * SYMTAB_GROWTH_FACTOR) As Long
Line #45 might have to be changed to "ReDim" instead of "Dim" also.
Then carry on soldier.

It doesn't matter which version of QB64 or PE for this code, but it has to be fixed. I haven't run the program listed here with the fix I'm proposing below. The array with the error was originally initialized "As Long", but that was forgotten in the error line. (Otherwise it's trying to redefine "As Single", because there's no _DEFINE statement or alike which changes the "default" type, which is not allowed.) So if you can try this code again with the version of QB64 that is working for you.
Code: (Select All) ReDim m_arrLookup(ubm_arrLookup * SYMTAB_GROWTH_FACTOR) As Long
Line #45 might have to be changed to "ReDim" instead of "Dim" also.
Then carry on soldier.

Hi mnrvovfrc
thanks for the idea!
I have lost that in the sub the ReDim lacks of typer definition!
But I have tried adding AS LONG to the REDIM in the sub and the runtime error is still there.
Gosh!
Now I have just tried to substituite DIM SHARED with REDIM SHARED at line 45 and lasting the type definition of data at 380 and now it runs good!
Thanks again. Here the results:

I was a little distracted with that QB64PE issue, but now that it works, back to this.
Thank you both, below is the fixed code.

Luke has left reference to all the webpages used as original ideas ipmomrte into his work or inspirations for his code.
this webpage is still active but it does not give so many information about hashes algorithms, only few informations good for who has alreay a good knowledge of hash methods.
your demo made with that library runs good.
Now I'll try the comparing methods demonstration.
See later!
Now that the code is working, back to the test results:
![[Image: tempodi-speed.png]](https://i.ibb.co/60VrFPt/tempodi-speed.png)
Even with the extra ID check, your dictionary is 398 times faster! And 524x faster without!
So, I am wondering what specifically is the bottleneck in the "Luke" version?
(Poor Luke, his code is probably fine, I probably messed it up somewhere to slow it down.)
Do you think that the "Luke" version can be improved to get the speed AND the features?

' It does a proper hashing of the contents and can support any
