Hash table

2
Hi,

Is it possible to store duplicate values in hash table. For example , in the 3rd location the value is "HELLO", again in the another location (say 8th location) the value is "HELLO".

If this is possible, then which location value will be returned while accessing through hash table. This is in VC++.

Hi,
You can store duplicate values in Hash list.
But the catch is you cant access the dupliacte value as always the first one stored will be returned.

Thanks

You can store as many duplicate values in a hash as you want, so long as the key to access the value is different. BTW, if you store duplicate values, don't store references or pointers to the duplicate value unless you are using some form of memory management that will not delete the value prematurely or forget to delete them at all.
