Chris Wellons on Hashing
The first data structure I learned and really internalized was the hash table. I’ve been using them my entire career and, given when I started, that meant implementing them myself. This was before I learned C and even C doesn’t … Continue reading
Chris Wellons on State Machines
As I’ve mentioned a few times, I love programming state machines. I spent many years writing software for communications software using odd protocols. The easiest way of implementing those protocols was almost always to use a state machine. Once you … Continue reading
