To implement a hash table, we create a class.

Press + to interact
class HashTable {
  constructor() {
    this.values = {};
    this.length =  0;
    this.size =  0;
  }
}

The constructor contains an object in which we’re going to store the values, the length of the values, and the entire size of the hash table: meaning how many buckets the hash table contains. Somewhere in these buckets, we can store our data.

Next, before we can do anything else, we need to implement our hashing function. One example ...
