Hi, how can i avoid of key beeing inserted into wrong location.If i do lets say 3 numbers ,5 digits long like 12345,23445,56745 and choose location 45,they will be inserted to location 45,but if try to insert 67452 to the same location it will be inserted,but i need it to be inserted into its own free location like 52,not 45.And is where any way to detect the location automatically,after inserting number?

The principle of this type of hash map is that when two objects have the same key they are stored in the hashmap using a linked list. i.e
if you store say 12345 and 23456 at key number 7, then both will be stored at location 7.

Now if it was put to a different location if then (a) it would not be findable under the initial key (b) what would you do when you have more than 128 (your array limit) ?

The way this was coded effectively is like someone has an old address book with each page has a letter e.g. A , B , C etc. Then as a person is added it gets added directly under the correct letter but in no particular order, e.g. under S it might be Smith, Simon, Steve.
When you are looking for Steve's address, you have to look at all the
S entries until you find him, but don't have to look at A, B ,C etc.
