Hash tables
Delete would work the same way. Notice we
never have to search for an item.
The amount of time required to carry out the
operation depends only on how quickly the black
box can perform its computation!
To implement this approach, we need to be able
to construct a black box, which we refer to
formally as the hash function. The method we
have been describing is called hashing. The Table
containing the location of our structures...is
called the hash table.
