Chained hash tables using an array of lists

I know how to use linked lists (is that similar to an array of lists?) and I kind of understand the concept of hash tables. But how would I implement a hash table using an array of lists. Also, how do I XOR characters?

Try looking at Google for linked list tutorials.

To XOR two values, use the ^ and ^= operators.

Code:

char a, b;
a = 'a';
b = 'b';

a ^= b;
b ^= a;
a ^= b; // Now a = 'b' and b = 'a'

Play around with this simple hash table with linked list chaining. It's really very simple, you just have to see how things work.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

#define TABSIZ 200

struct TabRec {
    struct TabRec *next;
    char name[BUFSIZ];
};

static struct TabRec *htable[TABSIZ];

unsigned hash(char *s)
{
    unsigned h;

    for (h = 0; *s; s++)
        h = *s + 31 * h;

    return h % TABSIZ;
}

struct TabRec *find(char *name)
{
    struct TabRec *item;

    for (item = htable[hash(name)]; item; item = item->next)
    {
        if (strcmp(name, item->name) == 0)
            return item;
    }

    return NULL;
}

struct TabRec *insert(char *name)
{
    struct TabRec *item;
    unsigned h;

    if ((item = find(name)) == NULL)
    {
        /* Not found, add */
        if ((item = malloc(sizeof (*item))) == NULL)
            return NULL;

        strcpy(item->name, name);

        h = hash(name);
        item->next = htable[h];
        htable[h] = item;
    }

    return item;
}

int main(void)
{
    char buf[BUFSIZ];
    struct TabRec *item;

    while (fgets(buf, sizeof (buf), stdin))
    {
        if (insert(buf) == NULL)
            break;
    }

    printf("Enter a name to find: ");
    fflush(stdout);

    if (fgets(buf, sizeof (buf), stdin))
    {
        if ((item = find(buf)) != NULL)
            printf("%s", item->name);
    }

    return 0;
}
