• Open: cells contain pointers to linked lists; collisions and a handful of inputs can be efficiently handled

  /* point each cell to its respective (empty) Stack */
  for(i = 0; i < MAX_VALUE; i++) {
     Stack *s = malloc(sizeof(Stack));
     initStack(s);
     oh->cell[i] = s;
  }
  

• Closed: cells can contain two elements; makes use of a rehashing function to constantly search for an available cell when a collision occurs

  for(i = 0; i < MAX_VALUE; i++) {
     for(j = 0; j < 2; j++) {
        ch->cell[i][j] = 0;
     }
  }
  

Input validation was kinda neglected (and I’m obviously not into adding them right now) so, children, refrain from inputting non-numeric keys, okay?

1. Download Dev-C++
2. Install the software
3. Go to File > New and do your thing
4. Execute > Compile (Ctrl+F9)
5. Execute > Run (Ctrl+F10)

If you’re familiar with gcc and is more comfortable using it, then follow the steps below:

1. Locate your Dev-C++ installation directory
2. Go to System Properties (via Control Panel or by right-clicking My Computer) and jump to the Advanced tab
3. Click on Environment Variables
4. Locate the Path variable and click Edit
5. Put a semicolon (separator) at the end of the Variable value
6. Add [Dev-C++ directory]/bin
7. Finish with an OK

You can now go to the Command Prompt to execute your C codes. In order to do so, you must be in the directory (folder) where your file is saved.

>gcc -o executable.o filename.c
>./executable.o

AN: Although Dev-C++ offers convenience in compiling and running, it apparently immediately closes the Command Prompt window after running the code without you getting the chance to see the output. In such case, you’ll have to add a system(“pause”); at the end of your code.
