Episode description

School is in session, and the teacher is directing students to their assigned seat. Each unique name gets its own unique table. But there's an unexpected student in the class. There's another Brian! What do we do?! In this episode, we dig into how to manage these collisions in a hashtable, and how to use our collision resolution strategy to find new Brian his own desk. Based on Vaidehi Joshi's blog post, "Taking Hash Tables Off The Shelf".
