Array is a collection of elements stored in contiguous memory locations while linked list is a collection of nodes linked by pointers.
Arrays have fixed size while linked lists can grow or shrink dynamically
Insertion and deletion is faster in linked lists than arrays
Accessing elements in arrays is faster than linked lists
Arrays are better for random access while linked lists are better for sequential access
An array of key-value pairs is the best data structure for a dictionary.
Use a hash table or a balanced tree to implement the dictionary.
Keys should be unique and immutable.
Values can be any data type.
Access time should be O(1) or O(log n) depending on the implementation.
Examples: Python's dict, Java's HashMap, C++'s unordered_map.
Hashing is a technique to map data to a fixed-size table. Time complexity of searching a hash table is O(n) in worst case.
Hashing is used to store and retrieve data quickly
It uses a hash function to map data to a fixed-size table
In the best case, searching a hash table takes O(1) time
