A hash table is a data structure that allows for fast data retrieval, insertion, and deletion. It's commonly used to implement associative arrays, also known as maps or dictionaries, where data is stored in key-value pairs.
Example
hash_table = {} hash_table["name"] = "Alice" print(hash_table["name"]) # Output: Alice
