This works in the obvious way (pseudocode):
for each element in the source array:
compute the hash key from the element
compute the hash value that should be stored under that key
if the hash key doesn't exist yet
store the hash value
otherwise
handle duplicate hash key
Which part is it that is giving you trouble?
