I don't see that as so much a question about hashtables but a question about
programming, I don't say that to be critical of your question. What you name a
variable is not important to the program. It would have funtioned exactly the
same if the programmer had decided to call "bigall", "smallno" instead. The
names for those variables obviouslly had some sort of organazation importance,
but you'd really have to ask the programmer.
