I read that hash tables in haskell are crippled ( citation: http://flyingfrogblog.blogspot.com/2009/04/more-on-haskells-hash-table-problems.html ) and since i like haskell it worried me.

Since the blog-post one year has passed and im curious,

The hash table problem in haskell was "fixed" in the traditional compilers? (like ghc)

ps: I love stack overflow, im a long time visitor but only today i decided to try to post a question.

Learning Haskell: How to remove an item from a List in Haskell

Trying to learn Haskell. I am trying to write a simple function to remove a number from a list without using built-in function (delete...I think). For the sake of simplicity, let's assume that the input parameter is an Integer and the list is an Integer list. Here is the code I have, Please tell me… >>> More

I'm trying to use Haskells Data.Heap module, but I'm incapable of even using it with integers. The only heap I've been capable of using is "empty", which does not take any arguments. Later on I'll figure out how to instance for my needs, but for now I'd be glad if I was even able to test it with… >>> More

Copy hashtable to another hashtable using c++

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
I am starting with c++ and need to know, what should be the approach to copy one hashtable to another hashtable in C++? We can easily do this in java using: HashMap copyOfOriginal=new HashMap(original); But what about C++? How should I go about it? UPDATE Well, I am doing it at a very basic level… >>> More

Say we have a hashtable of size m, and at each bucket we store a hashtable of size p. What would the worst case/average case search complexity be?
