The fundamentals of Hash tables?
- by kylex
I'm quite confused about the basic concepts of a Hash table. If I were to code a hash how would I even begin? What is the difference between a Hash table and just a normal array?
Basically if someone answered this question I think all my questions would be answered:
If I had 100 randomly generated numbers (as keys), how would I implement a hash table and why would that be advantageous over an array?
Psuedo-code or Java would be appreciated as a learning tool...
