Converts a string (the key) into an integer index. A common choice is the djb2 algorithm because it distributes strings evenly across the table.
free(current); printf("Key %d deleted.\n", key); c program to implement dictionary using hashing algorithms
// 6. Utility: Print Dictionary void print_dictionary(Dictionary *dict) printf("\n--- Dictionary Contents ---\n"); for (int i = 0; i < dict->size; i++) KeyValue *current = dict->table[i]; if (current != NULL) printf("Index [%d]: ", i); while (current != NULL) printf("(%s: %d) -> ", current->key, current->value); current = current->next; The Hash Function: Converts a string (the key)

// Create a new item struct DictionaryItem* newItem = (struct DictionaryItem*)malloc(sizeof(struct DictionaryItem)); newItem->key = key; newItem->value = value; newItem->next = NULL;
