Hash tables are very useful in certain situations but they are not necessary in other situations.
Part 2: Peer Responses

I thinkhash tablesshould be avoided when there is a great chance of a collision. Using things like separatechaining 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 scenariobefore implementing in order to avoid unnecessaryproblems.

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.
