Python 3: Project-based Python, Algorithms, Data Structures - Project: Job Scheduler execution flow

The video tutorial explains hash maps, focusing on their structure, hash functions, and search performance. It highlights the constant time complexity of hash maps and discusses handling collisions. The tutorial concludes with a brief overview of implementing hash maps in Python using dictionaries.

What is the theoretical search complexity of a hash map?

What is the significance of using immutable data types as keys in a hash map?

Explain the role of a hash function in a hash map.

Describe how you would add a record to a hash map.

In what way does the performance of a hash map differ from that of a sorted list?

How does searching for a record in a hash map work?

What happens when a collision occurs in a hash map?
