## Hash Tables
Hash table (or Hash Map) is a data structure that can map keys to values.A hash table uses a hash function to compute an index
into an array of buckets, from which the desired values can be found.Time complexity of a well defined Hash function can be O(1).

A hash table (hash map) is a data structure which implements an associative array abstract data type, a structure that can map keys to values. A hash table uses a hash function to compute an index into an array of buckets or slots, from which the desired value can be found.
Depending on the language implementation of hash tables can be given different names. For example, in Python their implementation is called a dictionary.
