In the video, I discussed hash tables, a common data structure used in various programming languages. Hash tables store key-value pairs and support constant time operations like insertion, update, and deletion. The internal structure involves mapping application keys to hash keys through hashing functions. By mapping hash keys to a smaller range, hash tables become efficient and avoid excessive memory usage. Dynamic resizing of the array allows for accommodating varying numbers of keys. Understanding these concepts is vital for efficient hash table implementation in software development.
