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]

So what you're saying is that the mathematical entity defined isn't a function because you might define some arbitrary names to some symbols in a programming language?

You're not just retarded, you're deluded.
