@ -5,15 +5,15 @@ The use of this data structure is to test membership in a set.
Compared to Python's built-in set() it is more space-efficient.
In the following example, only 8 bits of memory will be used:
>>> bloom = Bloom(size=8)
>>> "Titanic" in bloom
False
Initially the filter contains all zeros:
Initially, the filter contains all zeros:
>>> bloom.bitstring
'00000000'
When an element is added, two bits are set to 1
since there are 2 hash functions in this implementation:
>>> "Titanic" in bloom
False
>>> bloom.add("Titanic")
>>> bloom.bitstring
'01100000'
