Editing — 22. Hash Map
Learning Objectives
Understand the primarily implemented through dictionaries, focuses on understanding their structure, functionality, and applications.
Define the hash maps store unique key-value pairs, enabling efficient data access through a hash function that determines the index of each key in an array.
Hash maps offer unique keys, mutability for dynamic data management, and efficient average-case time complexity of O (1) for operations like insertion, deletion, and retrieval.
Explain hash maps that are indexed data structure and hash function that is the core of implementing a hash map.
Implementation of hash map for optimizing search, e.g., dictionaries are example of hash maps.
