 # Hash table
 
-A <u>hash table</u> achieves efficient element querying by establishing a mapping between keys and values. Specifically, when we input a `key` into the hash table, we can retrieve the corresponding `value` in $O(1)$ time.
+A <u>hash table</u>, also known as a <u>hash map</u>, is a data structure that establishes a mapping between keys and values, enabling efficient element retrieval. Specifically, when we input a `key` into the hash table, we can retrive the corresponding `value` in $O(1)$ time complexity.
 
-As shown in the figure below, given $n$ students, each with two pieces of data: "name" and "student number". If we want to implement a query feature that returns the corresponding name when given a student number, we can use the hash table shown in the figure below.
+As shown in the figure below, given $n$ students, each student has two data fields: "Name" and "Student ID". If we want to implement a query function that takes a student ID as input and returns the corresponding name, we can use the hash table shown in the figure below.

-Apart from hash tables, arrays and linked lists can also be used to implement querying functions. Their efficiency is compared in the table below.
+In addition to hash tables, arrays and linked lists can also be used to implement query functionality, but the time complexity is different. Their efficiency is compared in the table below:
 
-- **Adding elements**: Simply add the element to the end of the array (or linked list), using $O(1)$ time.
+- **Inserting elements**: Simply append the element to the tail of the array (or linked list). The time complexity of this operation is $O(1)$.
-- **Querying elements**: Since the array (or linked list) is unordered, it requires traversing all the elements, using $O(n)$ time.
+- **Searching for elements**: As the array (or linked list) is unsorted, searching for an element requires traversing through all of the elements. The time complexity of this operation is $O(n)$.
-- **Deleting elements**: First, locate the element, then delete it from the array (or linked list), using $O(n)$ time.
+- **Deleting elements**: To remove an element, we first need to locate it. Then, we delete it from the array (or linked list). The time complexity of this operation is $O(n)$.

-First, let's consider the simplest case: **implementing a hash table using just an array**. In the hash table, each empty slot in the array is called a <u>bucket</u>, and each bucket can store one key-value pair.

In other words, input a `key`, **and we can use the hash function to determine the storage location of the corresponding key-value pair in the array**.

 index = hash(key) % capacity
 ```
 
-Afterward, we can use `index` to access the corresponding bucket in the hash table and thereby retrieve the `value`.
+Afterward, we can use the `index` to access the corresponding bucket in the hash table and thereby retrieve the `value`.
 
-Assuming array length `capacity = 100` and hash algorithm `hash(key) = key`, the hash function is `key % 100`. The figure below uses `key` as the student number and `value` as the name to demonstrate the working principle of the hash function.

-Similar to array expansion, resizing a hash table requires migrating all key-value pairs from the original hash table to the new one, which is time-consuming. Furthermore, since the capacity `capacity` of the hash table changes, we need to recalculate the storage positions of all key-value pairs using the hash function, which adds to the computational overhead of the resizing process. Therefore, programming languages often reserve a sufficiently large capacity for the hash table to prevent frequent resizing.
