Hi,

As I understand from the concepts of Functional Programming, it is not =
possible to implement a Hashtable ADT in Haskell language, where one can =
insert, and access values in O(1) complexity. It has to be implemented =
with an external language.

Is my argument correct?

Thanks for taking time.
