Linked Hash Maps in Python: Concepts, System Design Relevance, and Resources

Introduction Hash maps are fundamental data structures widely used in programming and system design for their efficient key-value storage and retrieval capabilities. In Python, the built-in dictionary (dict) serves as a highly optimized hash map. However, a linked hash map is a specialized variant that maintains the order of insertion while retaining the fast lookup of a hash map. This blog post explores the concept of linked hash maps in Python, their relevance to system design, and useful resources for deeper understanding. ...
