[Tutor] Hash map and dictionaries

[Reuben]

Hi

Question 1:
-----------------
I would like to know the concept of hash map. Additionally,  I got to know
that hash maps are equivalent to dictionaries in python.

I would like to understand the relationship between dictionaries and hash
map better.


Question 2:
------------------
It is also said that in a list of may be 10,000 elements(specifically
integers), hash maps would be a better option to find the occurrence of
repetitive integers

How can this be implemented using dictionaries for a list of 10,000 integer
elements?





Regards,
Reuben
