We need to handle:
A collision occurs when two different keys hash to the same table index. A robust dictionary implementation must handle collisions gracefully. Two primary strategies exist.
printf("NULL\n");
void insert(const char *key, const char *value) unsigned int index = hash(key); Entry *new_entry = dictionary[index]; // Check if key already exists to update it while (new_entry != NULL) if (strcmp(new_entry->key, key) == 0) free(new_entry->value); new_entry->value = strdup(value); return; new_entry = new_entry->next; // Create a new entry if not found new_entry = malloc(sizeof(Entry)); new_entry->key = strdup(key); new_entry->value = strdup(value); new_entry->next = dictionary[index]; // Insert at the head of the list dictionary[index] = new_entry; Use code with caution.
