A police department wants to maintain a database of up to 1800 license-plate numbers of people who receive frequent tickets so that it can be determined very quickly whether or not a given license plate is in the database. Speed of response is very important; efficient use of memory is also important, but not as important as speed of response. Which of the following data structures would be most appropriate for this task? a. a sorted linked list
b. a sorted array with 1,800 entries
c. a hash table using open addressing with 1,800 entries
d. a hash table using open addressing with 3,600 entries
e. a hash table using open addressing with 10,000 entries

c.

Explanation:

I believe that in this scenario, the best option for this data would be a hash table using open addressing with 1,800 entries. Hash tables consume more memory than lists but it makes up for it with much faster response time speeds. This is because hash tables work on a key:value system therefore, the license plate can easily be grabbed from the database extremely quickly by just plugging in the plate number. Doing so will retrieve all of the saved information from that license plate. That is why hash tables have a constant time complexity of O(1)

we can all learn from our past mistakes because we all have different ways of learning different types of techniques. my way may or may not another classmate remember and have the repetition to acknowledge such standard. such as remembering acronyms. using abbreviations to us remember keep things in order in our memory. this us figure out what comes next in the sequence. if so, what we have is a sentence of just letters all in caps. we either know the meaning or have no idea what it stands for. most of the time we know the meaning and context. but most of us who don't know, should learn by having a quick glance at what needs to be remembered. such as repetition in the memory for acronyms. one way that me, is the fact that i'm always doing math and english assignments. so we have to remember specific meanings such as soapstone for documents, such as citing correctly. or pemdas for doing the equations correctly, even if it's the super long way. this works for everyone. you just have to find what works for you by practicing and repetition daily.
