Knowing how Python hash tables work will give you a deeper understanding of how dictionaries work and this could be a great advantage for your Python understanding because dictionaries are almost everywhere in Python. Hash Functions Before introducing hash tables and their Python implementation you have to know what is a hash function and how it works.
