\chapter{THashMap}
Implements container for unordered associative array with unique keys.
Takes 3 arguments for specialization, first one is type of keys, second one is type of values, third
one is is a hash functor
(class which has class function hash, which takes element and number $n$ and returns hash of the
element in range $0, 1, \dots, n-1$).
Usage example:
\lstinputlisting[language=Pascal]{hashmapexample.pp}
Memory complexity:
Arounds two times of size of stored elements

\verb!Create! & O(1) \\ \hline
\multicolumn{2}{|m{15cm}|}{Constructor. Creates empty map.} \\ \hline\hline
\verb!function Size(): SizeUInt! & O(1) \\ \hline
\multicolumn{2}{|m{15cm}|}{Returns number of elements in map.} \\\hline\hline

O(1) \\ \hline
\multicolumn{2}{|m{15cm}|}{Inserts key value pair into map. If key was already there, it will have
new value assigned.} \\\hline\hline

\multicolumn{2}{|m{15cm}|}{Deletes key (and associated value) from map. If element is not in map, nothing happens.} \\\hline\hline

\multicolumn{2}{|m{15cm}|}{Checks whether element with given key is in map.} \\\hline\hline
\verb!function Iterator:TIterator! & O(1) on average \\\hline
\multicolumn{2}{|m{15cm}|}{Returns iterator allowing traversal through map. If map is empty returns nil.} \\\hline\hline

\multicolumn{2}{|m{15cm}|}{Property for accessing key i in map. Can be used just by square

\verb!function Next:boolean! & O(N) worst case, but traversal of whole set takes O(N) time \\\hline
\multicolumn{2}{|m{15cm}|}{Moves iterator to next larger element in set. Returns true on

\verb!property Key:TKey! & $O(1)$ \\\hline
\multicolumn{2}{|m{15cm}|}{Property, which allows reading the key.} \\\hline

\multicolumn{2}{|m{15cm}|}{Property, which allows reading and writing of the value.} \\\hline

\multicolumn{2}{|m{15cm}|}{Returns pointer on stored value. Usefull for accessing records and
objects.} \\\hline
