[JASS] About Child & Parent keys.

[Almia]

So,im experimenting again in coding my linked list table using a hashtable,but before i do it, i need something to know. What is the limit of the child key values? also for the parent keys? is it 2147483648?

 

[Zwiebelchen]

It's the max integer size.

Btw, why do you need a table when using linked lists? Isn't that the point of the linked list to not require a table?

 

[edo494]

maybe he wants bigger size, you know arrays goes only to 8192 while hashtable is almost infinite when it comes to size(however, its slower)

You don't need arrays with linked lists. That's why they are linked lists.
Assuming you are talking about the struct instance limit: When would you ever need more than 8192 structs, as basicly everything in the game is capped at 8192 or less (units, destructables, effects, ...) anyway?

But I don't mind, really. Question was answered.

No,im creating a table of linked lists. The system will be GUI-Friendly,or actually for custom scripts.

GUIers that use linked lists? Ain't happening, bro.

 

[Almia]

I want them to learn linked list.

Its like non-civilized people who doesn't know what cellphones are.
or
its like telephones vs cellphones.

I think the limits are 2^31 -1 in positive and 2^31 in negative since WC3 uses 32 bit integers.

well gui is less intimidating than jass so the only problem is finding a use for it, if you show someone a use then they'll start using it

Nope they won't, as linked lists require a certain extend of programming knowledge to be understood and used correctly.
A person with this "certain knowledge" will most likely switch over to using JASS anyway.
