A hash table that stores key/pointer pairs. The table can handle either numbers or strings as keys, you specify which type it is when you create it. When you use strings as the keys, you should store the key permanently yourself somewhere, such as in the data structure you re pointing to, because the hash table doesn t duplicate the key. For example: Create a struct person that has a name and age, and pass in the name as the key, and the struct pointer as the pointer.
