Hash table

Is it ever possible to have a Hash table that can do get,put,remove @ O(1) for Strings?

calculating the hash for the String alone is O(n), is it not? [that's if you want to produce a good hash that won't collide all over the place]

You said that it wasn't a function, I pointed out that it obviously was. Now you're backpedaling saying that "it won't work in C", which wasn't even the fucking question in the first place.
