 * \brief Hash Search Algorithm - Best Time Complexity Ω(1)
 *
 * \copyright 2020 Arctic2333
 *
 * In this algorithm, we use the method of division and reservation remainder to
 * construct the hash function, and use the method of chain address to solve the
 * conflict, that is, we link a chain list after the data, and store all the
 * records whose keywords are synonyms in the same linear chain list.
 *
 * @warning This program is only for educational purposes. It has serious flaws
 * in implementation with regards to memory management resulting in large
 * amounts of memory leaks.
 * @todo fix the program for memory leaks and better structure in C++ and not C
 * fashion
