    The &quot;how to implement a hash table&quot; article <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;benhoyt.com&#x2F;writings&#x2F;hash-table-in-c&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;benhoyt.com&#x2F;writings&#x2F;hash-table-in-c&#x2F; was really helpful for me. I thought that hash tables were something that were basically impossible to make in C, but this showed that it was simpler.

      Here, one possible book:

      Data Structures, Algorithms, and Software Principles in C (1994 edition)
