The hash code is then used to calculate a location in an internal array where the value will be stored. Assuming that you're storing keys that all have different hash values, this means that dictionaries take -constant time -- O(1), in computer science notation -- to retrieve a key. +constant time -- O(1), in Big-O notation -- to retrieve a key. Why must dictionary keys be immutable?
