    Hashtable in C programming

    Hi,
    can someone explain to me How do I use hashtable in C programming and how is it going at all? How to insert in hashtable? I'm still confused on what's hashtable, is it an array?! thanks !
    By the way I'm not asking to code me a hashtable, just asking how its operational mode works in programming?

    A hash-table/hash-map is a data structure that associates "keys" of some type with "buckets" of some other type. In particular, it takes the "key", does some computations to it, and produces an index where the "bucket" is stored. As a result, indexing a hash-table is of constant complexity, independent of its size.

    How you use it depends on the implementation. Take a look at Wikipedia's article.
