The hash table is implemented as an open-addressed table with
linear probing collision resolution.
For those not up to CS parlance, it means that all the hash entries
(pairs of pointers key and value) are stored in a contiguous array.
The position of each mapping is determined by the hash value of its
key and the size of the table: location := hash(key) % size. If
two different keys end up on the same position (collide), the one
that came second is placed at the next empty position following the
In regular language, it means that all the hash entries (pairs of
pointers key and value) are stored in a contiguous array. The
position of each mapping is determined by the hash value of its key
and the size of the table: location := hash(key) % size. If two
different keys end up on the same position (collide), the one that
came second is placed at the next empty position following the
occupied place. This collision resolution technique is called
"linear probing".
