I think , in the worst case this hashing technique 'll take O(n^(k-1)) time? so i wud stick with sorting idea with confirm : O(mlogm) + O(m) time complexity where m is avg length of arrays. On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 6:02 PM, kumar raja rajkumar.cs...@gmail.comwrote: Dheeraj can u please tell me

Dheeraj can u please tell me how to keep track count for an element ,in hash table. I want the exact structure of the hash table The hash function uses the input as the elements value ,and stores it in some slot by computing hash function..then where is the question of storing count for that

I have got an idea I will construct (k-1) hash tables for the 2 to k array elements. Now starting at the 1st element in 1st array i will search for it in all the (k-1) hash tables in O((k-1)*1) time. So for n elements it would take O( n*(k-1)) time.. Is my approach correct,please correct me if
