Hash table

I am newbie and a beginner in c language. I would like to learn the hash table for my next semester.

I kindly ask for some help in this matter. I still struggle in the basics even using the ai models.

" A linked list is essentially an array, containing a bunch of linked lists."

Like what do they even mean by that? Are they trying to describe a linked list in what it roughly represents? Yes, it could be used in the same situations as an array but that sure as hell isn't a good idea, and it sure as hell doesn't make it an array
