Empirically test the formula ‹*p*› = (1+1/(1-α))/2 with the load factor α for finding a key in
a hash table using linear probing. Use a table array with capacity *m* = 1001. Do this for
each *n* from 500 to 1000:
1. Form a data array of *n* random three-letter keys.
2. Insert all *n* of these keys into the hash table.
3. Select a random key from your data array and cont the number of probes, *p*.
4. Do step 3 1000 times and print the average count ‹*p*›.
5. Display the dependence of 2‹*p*›/(1+1/(1-α)) on *n* and analyse the results.
Using java or c# as programming language
A report should also be created that must include the algorithm description, results and their analysis, discussion, and conclusions.
