Generation

A hash table is a fundamental data structure that provides extremely fast average-case lookups, insertions, and deletions in O(1) constant time by using a hash function to map keys directly to array positions. This makes it ideal for implementing dictionaries, caches, and databases where quick data retrieval is critical. Hash tables are one of the most widely used data structures in computer science due to their efficiency and versatility.
