Answer / navin chandra pandit

Hash table & Arrays both are collection but the main diff. is
that- Hash Table follows hashing technique, means it has two
parts-one is hash code while second is value corresponds to

hash code. While array has only value part. To access a
value from array, we use index no. generally.
