What is the worst-case performance of a lookup operation in a hashmap and why? Group of answer choices A- O(1), hashmap always has a constant time lookup, and that is why we like using this associative data structure.   B- O(lg(n)) hashmap has a log(n) lookup because we are able to perform a binary search on the keys because our hashmap always maintains a sorted order of entries added.   C- O(n) because we can have a bad hash function that puts all of our items in the same bucket, thus we would have to iterate through all n items.

Hash Table

A hash table also called a hash map, is a data structure that maps key-value pairs. The hash table can be used in complex systems to provide fast access and compact storage. A hash table is a structure that stores data in an abstract data type kind of associative array. It keeps data in an array format, with a distinct index value for every data value. If the index of the required data is known, then the data can be accessed very easily.
