size=4 means that the hash table has 16 entries. it does not mean that the table could not contain more objects, but collisions will happen.
And those collisions mean that I could look for a key name and retrieve another key (as both key names produce the same hash), am I right? So, if I want to handle ~ 300 concurrent entries, with *no* collision, which "size" value is good enough? how to determine it?
Thanks a lot.
