Which data structure is this?

  I answered that this is memory allocator :) - you are allocating (inserting in a sense) element, and you are given random (well, random as in not related to the data) pointer or reference (or cons, whatever). Later you use that same element by the said pointer, reference, etc.

  "Homework assignment". It's a symbol table, or a table of atoms (insert a string, get its atom_t, &c).

    It's not a homework assignment. Actually, I'm self-taught.

      Sorry. I'm from Usenet. Is the non-snarky part of my answer right?
