The Hash Set

Introduction A hash set is a data structure that allows storing elements inside a set using a hash function. The set is a data structure that offers efficient access to its elements and does not allow duplicates. The uniqueness of an element in the hash set is determined by the hash function, in this implementation hash collisions are not handled. If the hash of โ€œaโ€ is 123 and the hash of โ€œbโ€ is 123 as well then we consider โ€œaโ€ and โ€œbโ€ to have a hash collision and if โ€œaโ€ is already present in the set adding โ€œbโ€ has no effect. ...
