Well, hashes in particular implies a very specific kind of map/table (one that uses hashing). I think the most common non-implementation-dependent names are maps, dict(ionarie)s, tables, and associative arrays.
- logicallee 13y agothe reason it's in OP's list is that that's just what Perl calls associative arrays. (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Perl_Programming/Hash_Variables http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Perl_Programming/Hash_Variables) Hence it's literally the exact same thing as a dictionary, but is named a hash in Perl.
- judk 13y agoHah, in the second paragraph the author forgot, called it "associative array", and then remembered "hash" for the latter half of the sentence.
