The drawback is that the space usage is always Θ(U) and is independent of the number of elements in the set. Since you can index into a bitvector and flip bits in time O(1), the runtime of inserting an element, deleting an element, and looking up an element in the set is O(1). , U as follows: if the bit at index i is 0, then i is not present in the set, and if the bit at index i is 1, then i is present in the set. You can use a bitvector to represent a numbers in the range 0, 1, 2. Here, I think the interviewer was probably referring to a bitvector, an array of bits numbered 0, 1, 2.

The term "bitmap" is overloaded and has several different meanings.

Otherwise, the ideal for a bitmap is when the hashtable is full and would result in a space saving of upwards of log_2(N). *Assuming a hashtable of unused elements would be used if there were more than N/2 elements else a hashtable of used elements would be used. However, storing 5x10^9 numbers in a hashtable would require roughly 32 bits for each number resulting in a total of about 1.6x10^11 bits, which is 16x (log N / 2) that of a bitmap. Resulting in a space saving of upwards of log_2(N)/2.*Īn example, is if you use a 10 digit phone number and half the numbers are used. A bloom filter is pretty much a cross between a hashtable and a bitmap it is mostly intended to limit the number of disk accesses and thus is of somewhat limited use in this case.Ī bitmap is generally better choice space-wise than a hashtable of used or unused elements if it contains more than approximately N/log(N) used or unused elements and becomes ideal* at when a hashtable of either unused or used elements is half full. Skip-list and Trees may have even worst performance. Trie/compressed trie would likely all be similar to a hashtable in terms of space/time performance. Seems like a hashtable or bitmap would indeed be ideal for that situation and it probably would be more space efficient and lookups would be somewhat faster to use a bitmap.

This is the state of the art timing system for high school, college and professional track meets.Interesting that you didn't mention a hashtable. It's very user friendly.įor track meets, we use the Finishlynx system.
#Where to store phone during racr registration
We strongly encourage people to use Runsignup as their registration site. Results are produced quickly and load directly to our results page. This is a very efficient way of timing your race.

These are disposable, making for efficient distribution and eliminating the need to collect chips after the race. The ThinTag timing chip is ultra-thin, lightweight and applied directly to the back of the bib number at running events. The MYLAPS ThinTag is great for running races as well as cycling events. Add any other pertinent information in the body of the email.Īt this time, we are only chip timing races and timing track meets.įor road and cross country races, we use the My Laps Bib Tag chip timing system. If you have questions about race timing, please email Kevin Kelly at Include the race name and date in the subject line. Pre-pandemic, we were timing about 180 races per year. We time several races that have over 3000 participants. Since then, we've evolved into timing road races and track meets as well. We started timing cross country meets in 1991.
