Lisp The problem with that technique, while it's very general, is how long does it take me to find the i'th element of the list?

很多编程语言包括，都是用了这种技术,这个问题就是，当数组很大的时候？

Hmm. Well, wait a minute. If I want to sort a list, I'll take one element, I've got to look at probably a lot of the other elements in the list in order to decide where it goes. And that suggests it's going to depend on how long the list is.

我会取一个元素，然后去查看列表,来决定要把那个元素放到哪里,这就意味着它依赖于列表的长度,对，这没什么说服力，但是事实上。

So, what's the idea? If I know what my hash function does, it maps, in this case characters into a range zero to 256, which is zero to 255, I create a list that long, and I simply mark things.

我知道我的哈希函数做什么,在这个例子中，它将字母，映射成0到255的256个数字，我创建了一个这么长的列表，并且我只是简单的标志这些东西。
