What is a hash table?

A hash table is a data structure that stores key-value pairs, where each key is mapped to a unique index in an array using a hash function. It allows for efficient insertion, deletion, and retrieval of values based on their keys. The hash function converts the key into an array index, which helps in quickly locating the corresponding value.
