How to Create A Hash Table Project in C++ , Part 1 , Setting Up the Hash Table Project


Summary

The video demonstrates how to set up a C++ project in NetBeans for a hash table application. It covers creating main.cpp and additional source files hash.cpp and hash.h. The speaker shows how to define a hash class with function prototypes for hash functions and implement a hash function that calculates the hash value for a key and returns the index in the hash table. This tutorial is helpful for beginners looking to understand the basics of hash tables and C++ programming in NetBeans.


Creating a C++ Application in NetBeans

Starting the project in NetBeans, setting up a C++ application named 'hash table video', and creating the main.cpp file for C++ usage.

Creating Source Files

Creating additional source files, including hash.cpp and hash.h, necessary for the project.

Including Libraries

Adding the iostream and string libraries to the main.cpp file for input/output operations and string manipulation.

Defining the Hash Class

Defining the hash class in hash.cpp, including function prototypes and class structure for hash functions.

Hash Function Prototype

Defining the hash function prototype that evaluates a string and returns an integer representing the hash table index.

Hash Function Implementation

Implementing the hash function in hash.cpp to calculate the hash value for a given key and return the index number in the hash table.
