How to Create a Dictionary in C

[@Brad_Script]

10:30 : why are you using free(entry) ? entry was not created with malloc in the constructor

thanks for these videos. Hope you come back anytime soon with new projects and tutorials!

jeez louis. Just started "learning" C this weekend by doing last year's Advent of Code and wanted to implement a dictionary. I paused the video at 9:04 and googled for a good 15 minutes why you were placing the function declarations in the header file. The next words to come out of your mouth were regarding that very subject lol

haha honestly I do that all the time with KZbin tutorials!

Thank you. Kind note - larger font could be helpful for easier viewing/following.

That Washington OOP in C paper is really good

Well-presented and well-spoken, thank you

Hmmm. The advantage of a dictionary style data structure is to make access of an element O(1). So using a binary search tree instead of a hash function defeats the entire purpose. You're simply adding syntax sugar on top of a binary search tree.

27:45 I don't understand how it converts a void pointer (result) to a struct Entry pointer. how does it work? I am confused. struct has 2 pointers but result is only one pointer so i donno how it is possible to cast it. Very in depth tutorial though 👍

I came to watch this video as I'm stuck with my college programming homework

I hope it was helpful!

@@eom-dev yes, It was .but, you're doing some complex programming. I am a beginner level programmer.

Great vid

Nice job Eric

[@alirezabahrami340]

If you use hashmap it will be O(1) for search why do you find O(long n) more efficient? P.s: i have not watched until the end yet

This IDE looks cool, which one is it and how hard is it to get familiar with it? Using Code::Blocks at the moment but I am not sure how happy I am with it, so I constantly looking for other interesting IDEs to toy around with until I find the one that fits me the most.

Have you considered using hashing for your dictionary? It would be faster than a bst based implementation.

[@eom-dev]

I though of using a hash table but wanted to make a more custom object. Eventually, this lets me add additional functionality; for example, I added a list of keys to the dictionary off camera that allows me to do something akin to a "for each" statement in a loop.
