I am considering using JavaScript object as a dictionary.
var dict = {}
dict['a'] = 1;
dict['b'] = 2;
var my_first = dict['a'];
I am not clear about the time-complexity of such implementation. Is it like hashing?
Thank you.
JavaScript objects are often called “hashes” (mostly by recovering Perl addicts) or “hash tables” (unrepentant Java people). The typical look-up is somewhere between O(1) and O(log n).
