 <h4 class="subsection">Hash Table Type</h4> <p>A hash table is a very fast kind of lookup table, somewhat like an alist in that it maps keys to corresponding values, but much faster. The printed representation of a hash table specifies its properties and contents, like this: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">(make-hash-table)
     ⇒ #s(hash-table size 65 test eql rehash-size 1.5
                             rehash-threshold 0.8125 data ())
</pre>
