Email: NathanlieOrtega.Dev@gmail.com

Brief Description

C++ console app by Nathanlie Ortega implementing a hash table with linear probing and chaining. Supports insert, search, delete, and display with a menu interface. Demonstrates collision handling, dynamic structures, and hashing concepts.

Files and Structure

• main.cpp: Main logic and menu interface.
• HashTable.h, HashTable.cpp: HashTable class and operations for both strategies.

Compilation and Execution

1. Navigate to the project folder:

   cd HashTable

2. Compile:

   g++ HashTable.cpp main.cpp

3. Run:

   ./a.exe

Alternative Way to Compile and Execute:

1. Navigate to the project folder:

   cd HashTable

2. Compile:

   g++ HashTable.cpp main.cpp -o HashTable.exe

3. Run:

   ./HashTable.exe
