From the 1940s to the 2010s people programmed computers, and computers could only do what they were programmed to do in a rules-based […]
While Python doesn’t have a built-in data structure explicitly called a “hash table”, it provides the dictionary, which is a form of a hash table. Python dictionaries are unordered collections of key-value pairs, where the key is unique and holds a corresponding value. Thanks to a process known as “hashing”, dictionaries enable efficient retrieval, addition, […]
