Part 2: Peer Responses

I think hash tables should be avoided when there is a great chance of a collision. Using things like separate chaining or chaining with links or any type of chaining can help avoid any collision in the hash tables. It is best to think through the scenario before implementing in order to avoid unnecessary problems.

Hash tables have great advantages but there are disadvantages also. Hash tables have many uses but one place to avoid using them is on the web. They have a security weakness that a hacker can take advantage of and can cause problems. Hash tables are not good for iteration through it in order. Hash tables are good for situations where you are doing inserting, deleting, and searching. They have their uses but there are still things out there better for certain situations.
