Hashing Function for Map C++
- by Josh
I am trying to determine a hash function which takes an input (i, k) and determines a unique solution.
The possible inputs for (i, k) range from 0 to 100. Consider each (i, k) as a position of a node in a trinomial tree.
Ex: (0, 0) can diverge to (1, 1) (1, 0) (1, -1).
(1, 1) can diverge to (2, 2) (2, 1) (2, 0).
Sample given here:

I am using a map
map <double, double> hash_table
I need a key value to be determined from pairs (i, k) to hash to to value for that (i, k)
So far I was only able to come up with linear functions such as:
double Hash_function(int i, int k)
{
//double val = pow(i, k) + i;
//return (val % 4294967296);
return (i*3.1415 + k*i*9.12341);
}
However, I cannot determine a unique key with a certain (i, k). What kind of functions can I use to help me do so?
