[CentralOH] What is a 'bucket'?

[timothy spencer]

Hello everyone. What is a 'bucket'? I think that I may be over-thinking this. I know that a dictionary is a list of 'key: value' pairs. Is a bucket simply the slot where a pair would go? I am wondering if a bucket is a slot where multiple tuples would go. Like if a dictionary is horizontal, then I am wondering if a bucket then is a vertical slot that can have lots of tuples. Lists within lists.. Then again, perhaps it is just a slot that only holds one key:value pair. I am on Zed Shaw's book in EX 39, and his description is a little odd.

Let me know, thanks,

Tim
