Hash Tables
First Non-Repeating Value
Find the first input value whose final frequency is one.
Algorithm
Canonical input [3, 5, 2, 5, 3, 8, 2] prints 8.
The replay uses the same input in every language, so this Fortran DSA
implementation can be compared directly with the rest of the DSA track.
Basic Implementation
basic.f90
program main
implicit none
integer :: arr(7) = [3, 5, 2, 5, 3, 8, 2]
integer :: count(10) = 0
integer :: i
do i = 1, 7
count(arr(i)) = count(arr(i)) + 1
end do
do i = 1, 7
if (count(arr(i)) == 1) then
print '(I0)', arr(i)
exit
end if
end do
end program main
Complexity
- Time: O(n) average
- Space: O(k) for k distinct values
Implementation notes
- Keep output formatting deterministic. Do not rely on unordered hash-map printing when the lesson needs cross-language comparison.
- The trace highlights the hash table state after each write.
two-pass lookup
The first pass builds a frequency table. The second pass keeps the original order and stops at the first value with frequency one.
