CentralNotice Last man From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation , search For the football term, see Last man (football) . For uses of "The Last Man", see The Last Man (disambiguation) . The last man ( German : der letzte Mensch ) is a term used by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in Thus Spoke Zarathustra to describe the antithesis of the imagined superior being, the Übermensch , whose imminent appearance is heralded by Zarathustra. The last man is tired of life, takes no risks, and seeks only comfort and security. The last man's primary appearance is in "Zarathustra's Prologue." After having unsuccessfully attempted to get the populace to accept the Übermensch as the goal of society, Zarathustra confronts them with a goal so disgusting that he assumes that it will revolt them. [ 1 ] The last man is the goal that European civilization has apparently...

CentralNotice Hash array mapped trie From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation , search It has been suggested that this article be merged into Hash tree (persistent data structure) . ( Discuss ) Proposed since May 2013. A hash array mapped trie [ 1 ] (HAMT) is an implementation of an associative array that combines the characteristics of a hash table and an array mapped trie . [ 1 ] It is a refined version of the more general notion of a hash tree . 1 Operation 2 Advantages of HAMTs 3 Problems with HAMTs 4 Implementations 5 References Operation [ edit ] A HAMT is an array mapped trie where the keys are first hashed in order to ensure an even distribution of keys and to ensure a constant key length. In a typical implementation of an array mapped trie, each node may branch to up to 32 other nodes. However, as allocating space for 32 p...

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . (April 2009) In computer science , a doubly-linked list is a linked data structure that consists of a set of sequentially linked records called nodes . Each node contains two fields , called links , that are references to the previous and to the next node in the sequence of nodes. The beginning and ending nodes' previous and next links, respectively, point to some kind of terminator, typically a sentinel node or null , to facilitate traversal of the list. If there is only one sentinel node, then the list is circularly linked via the sentinel node. It can be conceptualized as two singly l...
