:Is there some way of putting your code in a scollable section of say only 50 lines long? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 15:35, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
:I would suggest putting any [[C]] hash implementation into [[Creating an Associative Array]], and then referencing that implementation in this task. Two tasks for one! --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 16:47, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
:I think that an existing C hash-table or data-structure library should be used, and that Rosetta Code should avoid reimplementing libraries like this -- [[Creating an Associative Array]] is oriented toward *using* an implementation, not making one, even if it doesn't explicitly say so. (And for what it's worth, I think the general principle to apply is: what would be enlightening to the reader?) --[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 19:59, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
