Hi all,
Is it ok to use a string as the key for Hashtable entries? I want to use
the name of entity in question, which I know will always be unique.
Do I have to do anything fancy equality-wise or are there any caveats I should
be aware of?
Thanks to anyone who can advise.
Kindest Regards

yes, it is ok to use strings, i do it all the time. the comparison is case
sensitive, so if you want to have case insensitive keys, then drive your key
strings to upper case (or lower if you prefer).

Or use a case insensitive comparison fn.

Jon,
It seems for me easier to use consequently

Easier, maybe, but not always desirable. Using a case-insensitive
comparison function allows semantics like file names: Case doesn't
matter, but is preserved.
If I use "Jon Shemitz" as a key, I might prefer to get back "Jon
Shemitz" when I enumerate the Keys, not "jon shemitz" or "JON
SHEMITZ".

It is usable in C# as well of course by setting a reference to the right
namespace.
I'm not sure how that addresses the issue of preserving case, if that
is desirable. If the key is "Rip van Winkle", then proper-casing it as
"Rip Van Winkle" is just as wrong as "rip van winkle" or "RIP VAN
WINKLE".

I need to implement a function to return True/false whether String A

What's the best approach to achieve this with the best performance?
what's the Big O then?

Hi,
Here is the scenario. I have a list of IDs and there are multiple threads

1. create Hashtable hList = Hashtable.Synchronized(new Hashtable());
2. create ArrayList aList = ArrayList.Synchronized(new ArrayList());
3. create a string sList = "";
For 1 and 2, since the list is synced, many threads can directly

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
