title: Initializing size of hash table
body: <p>If I have a hash table that I know will store 13 items, how can I initialize my table to an appropriate size? I read in my book that the load factor should be at or below 2/3. Does this mean that if I already know that the maximum number of items in my table at any point will be 13, I could do something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>tableSize = nextPrime((numEntries * 3)/2);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My thinking with the above assignment is that numEntries represents the number 13 and since I know the load factor has to be under 2/3, I find what value I need to make the ratio 2/3.</p>
