Advantage of 'one dimensional' hash over array in Perl?

Is a nice, short expression, clear and easy to use. Obviously.

Yes. If you want to check whether an item exists in an array, you have to loop over every item. In a hash table, you simply lookup the key.

This is faster for big datasets.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
