Useful to gain an insight into how they work, but virtually any development platform people work in except raw C these days will provide highly tuned and optimized hashtable implementations.
But someone had to write it, and it's not as if Java couldn't use some more optimization.
It's the same exact length as the C++ test so you do get the same exact amount of time, 3 hours. I found it to be exactly what I expected it to be which isn't suprising because we had all spent the entire year preparing for a single test. I'm not allowed to discuss the multiple choice, but there was this one free response question that was a bitch. Traverse a binary tree without recursion, meaning using a stack. C'mon now, that's just garbage.

Yea, I've had just about enough of, what does a call to mystery(6) return? I don't give a damn!
Pretty much everyone that took the test at our school(all of 16 students) finished the free response with almost a full hour left.
I found one of the spelling errors to be particularly humorous, the "Matrine Biology Simulation". Yes, they put that t there on the test.
