Number of different insertion sequence of Key values in a hash table - hash

A hash table of length 10 uses open addressing with hash function h(k)=k mod 10, and linear probing. After inserting 8 values into an empty hash table, the table is as shown below
0 |
1 | 91
2 | 2
3 | 13
4 | 24
5 | 12
6 | 62
7 | 77
8 | 82
9 |
How many different insertion sequences of the key values using the same hash function and linear probing will result in the hash table shown above?
ANSWER - 128.
I know for 91,2,13,24,77 its 5! = 120 but i can't figure out what are the other 8 combinations ?

The answer given is wrong, Actualy it was a mocktest and answer provided by the source is wrong. The real answer is 168.
It can be done in 2 ways -
1) 91,2,13,24,12,62,77,82 - Here if you see and filter out details
_,91,_,2_,13,_,24,_,12,_,62,_,82
In all the available gaps we could fill 77 it will always result in 7th slot so
total number of ways 77 can come - any of 7 places i.e 7.
Now 91,2,13,24 can come in any order and can be arranged as above so total ways - 4! and for every of the 4! arrangements 77 can come at any of the 7 places so answer is - 4!*7 = 168.
2) Second way is - There are 3 possible sequence only
i) 91,2,13,24,77,12,62,82
Here 91,2,13,24,77 can come in any order, They will get there respective
slots so total 5! ways.
ii) 91,2,13,24,12,77,62,82
Here 91,2,13,24 can come in any order and we have fixed 77 after 12 so total
4! ways.
iii) 91,2,13,24,12,62,77,82
same here with 4! ways 91,2,13,and 24 can come and 77 is fixed after 62.
so total 5!+4!+4!=168.

Grouping data into buckets by frequency in Postgres 11.6

Using Postgres 11.6, I'm trying to analyze some event data. The goal is to find the durations for all events with a specific name, and then split each one out into evenly sized buckets. We're looking for any times that "clump" for a specific event. I'm editing my question as the specific case may be obscuring what I'm trying to ask.
Simple example
The question is "how do you group rows by a value, then split occurrences by frequency into buckets with count and average for each of those buckets." Here's a hand-done toy example with rounded averages:
Months with values, each number here represents a row.
Jan 12 24 60 150 320 488
Feb 8 16 40 100 220
Mar 4 8 20 310
Overall figures
Month Count Avg Min Max
Jan 6 176 12 488
Feb 5 77 8 220
Mar 4 86 4 310
The same original data, but with more data, including repeated values and a wider range.
Jan 12 12 12 12 24 24 60 60 150 320 488 500
Feb 8 8 8 8 8 16 40 100 220 440 1100
Mar 4 8 8 8 8 20 20 20 20 310
Overall figures
Month Count Avg Min Max
Jan 12 140 12 500
Feb 11 178 8 1100
Mar 10 43 4 310
Mock-up of one of the sets of data split out into 3 buckets
Month Count Avg Min Max Bucket
Jan 4 12 12 12 0
Jan 4 42 24 60 1
Jan 4 365 150 500 2
...and so on for Feb and Mar
I'm just guessing at how the buckets would split in the mock-up above.
That pretty much captures what I'm trying to do. Group by month name (from_to_node in my real case), split the resulting rows into buckets, and then get min, max, avg, and count for each bucket. It's starting to sound like a pivot (?)
Real Table Setup
Here's the structure of table I'm getting a feed for:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS data.edge_event (
id uuid,
inv_id uuid,
facility_id uuid,
from_node citext,
to_node citext,
from_to_node citext,
from_node_dts timestamp without time zone,
to_node_dts timestamp without time zone,
seconds integer,
cycle_id uuid
);
The duration is pre-calculated in seconds, and the area of interest for now is only the from_to_node name. So, it's fair to think of the example as
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS data.edge_event (
from_to_node citext,
seconds integer
);
Raw Data
Within the edge_event table, there are 159 distinct from_to_node values over around 300K event rows. Some are found in only a handful of edge_event records, some are found in thousands, or tens of thousands. That's too much to provide a good sample for. But to make the problem simpler to follow, a from_to_node might be
Boxing_Assembly 1256
Meaning "it took 1256 seconds to move this part from the Boxing phase to the Assembly phase." And here we might have 10,000 other records for "Boxing_Assembly" with different durations.
Goal
We're looking for two things out of each from_to_node. For something like Boxing_Assembly, I'm trying to do this:
Sort the seconds taken into buckets, say 20 buckets. This is for a histogram.
For each bucket get the
count of edge_event rows
avg(seconds) within the bucket
min/first_value(seconds) within the bucket
max/last_value(seconds) within the bucket
So, we're looking to chart durations to look for clusters, and then get the raw seconds out of any common clusters.
What I've tried
I've tried a lot of different code, and I've not succeeded. It seems like a problem for GROUP BY and/or window functions. There's something I'm not getting, as my results are far from the mark.
I know that I haven't provided sample data, which makes it harder to help. But I'm guessing that what I'm missing is one++ concepts. Pretty much, I want to know how to split out the edge_event data by from_to_node and then by seconds. Given the huge ranges across from_to_nodes, I'm trying to bucket each individually based on their own min/max.
Thanks very much for any help.
Draft Attempt
I've developed a query that works a bit, but not entirely. This is an edit from my original post with broken code.
WITH
min_max AS
(
SELECT from_to_node,
min(seconds),
max(seconds)
FROM edge_event
GROUP BY from_to_node
)
SELECT edge_event.from_to_node,
width_bucket (seconds, min_max.min, min_max.max, 99) as bucket, -- Bucket are counted from 0, so 9 gets you 10 buckets, if you have enough data.
count(*) as frequency,
min(seconds) as seconds_min,
max(seconds) as seconds_max,
max(seconds) - min(seconds) as bucket_width,
round(avg(seconds)) as seconds_avg
FROM edge_event
JOIN min_max ON (min_max.from_to_node = edge_event.from_to_node)
WHERE min_max.min <> min_max.max AND -- Can't have a bucket with an upper and lower bound that are the same.
edge_event.from_to_node IN (
'Boxing_Assembly',
'Assembly_Waiting For QA')
GROUP BY edge_event.from_to_node,
bucket
ORDER BY from_to_node,
bucket
What I'm getting back looks pretty good:
from_to_node bucket frequency seconds_min seconds_max bucket_width seconds_avg

One problem here is that the buckets aren't evenly sized...they seem kind of weird. I've also tried specifying 10, 20, or 100 buckets, and get similar results. I'm hoping that there is a better way to allocate the data to buckets that I'm missing, and that there's a way to have zero-entry buckets instead of gaps.
I would use the PostgreSQL optimizer for that. It collects exactly the information you want.
Create a temporary table with the values you are interested in and ANALYZE it. Then look into pg_stats for the following:
if there are "most common values", you have them and their frequency right there.
Otherwise, look for adjacent histogram boundaries that are close together. Such a bucket is an interval where values are "lumped".

How to determine the number of digits of a number in a table

I am trying to determine the number of digits of a number in a table. For example if I have a table like this:
4 200 50 1236
69 54 285 1
1458 2 69 555
The answer would be
1 3 2 4
2 2 3 1
4 1 2 3
I used to be able to do this with this code
strlength(num2str(ADCPCRUM2(i,2)))
but then my input was numeric, and not a table.
How do I determine the length of a number in a table?
floor(log10(A)) does this. log10() basically counts the number of digits before/behind the decimal separator where the most significant number is.
When using this on a table, a simple call to table2array() should solve it.
Caveat: this only works for integers; for non-integer inputs it would get a lot more involved.

select every 3rd participate from a list and make and average in matlab

I got 3 lists with grades ranging from 0-100 represting 3 different tests.
each list has an equal number of indxes (represting participates).
For example- the 1st indexes in the lists- list1,list2 and list3, are the grades of the first particiapte in the 3 different tests.
I need to make a new group (named group1) that select evey 3rd participate, starting from the first, and than calculate the avarage of this group scores.
i'll appriciate any help!!
Hopefully instead of three 'lists' you are actually using a 3 column matrix for this? e.g.
testScores = [20 48 13;
85 90 93;
54 50 56;
76 80 45
...]
From here it is trivial to select every third participant:
testScores(1:3:end, :)
and then to find the mean:
mean(testScores(1:3:end,:),2)

MATLAB/OCTAVE - Branching loops? or parallel looping?

Still new to the programing game but I need a little help! I'm not exactly sure how to describe what I want to do but I'll give it my best shot. I have a set of numbers produced by an algorithm I've put together. e.g. :
....
10 10 10
11 11 11
12 1 2
13 3 4
14 12 13
15 6 7
16 5 15
17 8 9
....
Essentially what I want to do is assign these index numbers to groups. Lets say I start with the number 14 in the first column. It is going to belong to group 1, so I label it in a new column in row 14 "1" for group one. The second and the third column show other index numbers that are grouped with the index 14. So I use a code like:
FindLHS = find(matrix(:,1)==matrix(14,2));
and
FindRHS = find(matrix(:,1)==matrix(14,3));
so clearly this will produce the results of
FindLHS = 12
FindRHS = 13
I will then proceed to label both 12 and 13 as belonging to group "1" as I did for 14
now my problem is I want to do this same procedure for both 12 and 13 of finding and labelling the indexs for 12 and 13 being (1,2) and (3,4). Is there a way to repeat that code for both idx of 1,2,3 and 4? because the real dataset has over 5000 data points in it...
Do you understand what I mean?
Thanks
James
All you really want to do is find wherever matrix(:,1) contains one of the numbers you've already found, include the numbers in the second and third columns into your group list (presuming they aren't already there), and stop when that list stops growing, right? This may not be the most efficient way of doing it but it gives you the basic idea:
while ~(numel(oldnum)==numel(num))
oldnum = num;
idx = ismember(matrix(:,1),oldnum)
num = unique(matrix(idx,:))
end
Output:
num =
1
2
3
4
12
13
14
Now if your first column is literally just your numbers 1 through 5000 in order, you don't need to even find the index, you can just use your number list directly.
To do this for multiple groups you would just need an outer loop that stores the information for each group, then picks out the next unused number. I'm presuming that your individual groups are consistent so that no matter which of those numbers you pick you end up with the same result - e.g. starting at 2 or 14 gives you the same result (if not, it becomes more complex).

Linear Probing in Open Addressing

I have an array with size m = 11 and my hash function is Division method : h(k) = k mod m
I have an integer k = 10 and 10 mod 11 is -1 so where should I put this key in the array? I should put this key in the slot which its index is 10?
please help me thanks
EDITED : for getting my answer well for example I have integers like k = 10,22,31,4,15,28,17,88,59
the array would be like this?thanks
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 index
10 31 59 17 28 4 15 88 22 keys
As it's usually done, 10 mod 11 is 10, so yes, you'd normally use index 10.
Edit: To generalize: at least as it's normally defined, given two positive inputs, a modulo will always produce a positive result. As such, your questions about what to do with negative results don't really make sense with respect to the normal definition.
If you really do have the possibility of getting a negative result, my immediate reaction would be to switch to some language that will produce a reasonable result. If you can't do that, then you'd probably want to move the value into the correct range by adding m to the negative number until you get a number in the range [0..m) so it fits the normal definition of mod, then use that as your index.
