The player's name IS the number. No other numbering system is needed. The players name is NEVER stored in the hash, AFAIK. The name is used to feed a hashing function, which renders an index into the storage of the hash structure. There is found the count-- the ONLY DATA stored for any player/number.,
Well, I think we got Stuart sorted out a few days ago, but since you bring it up I prefer to think of a hashes as stored pairs, no matter what they really are. You could be right about the key not being stored, I honestly have no clue. Things like keys() and each() have to get it from somewhere though (Reversing the hashing operation? Again, no clue.) and since they do exist, it's easier for me to think of them as a key and value pair being stored. Of course, this is all just opinion and I'm sure other programmers have different views from either of us.
