Collections-Hashtable

In C# Hashtable is very much similar to disctionary, but the difference is the values that are stored in hashtable are object type. Hashtable follows LIFO (last in first out format). Last inserted value displayed first in the output

Methods of hashkey

Method name
requirement
Add
Adds an item with a key and value into the hashtable.
Remove
Removes the item with the specified key from the hashtable.
Clear
Removes all the items from the hashtable.
Contains
Checks whether the hashtable contains a specific key.
ContainsKey
Checks whether the hashtable contains a specific key.
ContainsValue
Checks whether the hashtable contains a specific value.
GetHash
Returns the hash code for the specified key.

Example

using System;
using System.Collections;


class classHashTable
    {
        public void HashtableMethod()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Adding Elements to the Hashtable");
            Console.WriteLine("=================================");
            Hashtable hashtable = new Hashtable();
            hashtable.Add(1, "C#");
            hashtable.Add(2, "Java");
            hashtable.Add(3, "ASP");
            hashtable.Add(4, "SQL");
            hashtable.Add(5, "MySQL");
            hashtable.Add("neo", "Soft");

            foreach (DictionaryEntry item in hashtable)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Employee ID = " + item.Key + " Employee Name = " + item.Value);
            }

            Console.WriteLine("\n");
            Console.WriteLine("Remove() method removes the item with the specified key from the hashtable.");
            Console.WriteLine("=================================");
            hashtable.Remove("neo");
            foreach (DictionaryEntry item in hashtable)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Employee ID = " + item.Key + " Employee Name = " + item.Value);
            }
        }
       
    }
     
public class Program
{
 public static void Main()
 {
   classHashTable c = new classHashTable();
            c.HashtableMethod();
 }
}

Output

Adding Elements to the Hashtable
=================================
Employee ID = neo Employee Name = Soft
Employee ID = 5 Employee Name = MySQL
Employee ID = 4 Employee Name = SQL
Employee ID = 3 Employee Name = ASP
Employee ID = 2 Employee Name = Java
Employee ID = 1 Employee Name = C#


Remove() method removes the item with the specified key from the hashtable.
=================================
Employee ID = 5 Employee Name = MySQL
Employee ID = 4 Employee Name = SQL
Employee ID = 3 Employee Name = ASP
Employee ID = 2 Employee Name = Java
Employee ID = 1 Employee Name = C#
