## Hash Tables
Sometimes when programming, we need a data structure that maps an arbitrary data type to another arbitrary data type, like an array with non-integer indices. For example, a phone book that allows lookup by a person's name requires such data type.

A **hash table** (or a hash map) is one way of representing this data structure. The idea of hash table is this: A **hash table** (or a hash map) is one way of representing this data structure. The idea of hash table is this:

Assuming the hash function uses constant time, the average time complexity is `O(n / k)` for each insertion/access operation on the table, where `n` is the number of entries in the hash table and `k` is the array size of the table. This assumes the hash function distributes keys uniformly across the `k` buckets, so each bucket holds about `n / k` entries on average.
