Rehashing requires recomputing the hash function for all items in the hash table. Since computing the hash function is expensive, suppose objects provide a hash member function of their own, and each object stores the result in an additional data member the first time the hash function is computed for it. Show how such a scheme would apply for the Employee class in Figure, and explain under what circumstances the remembered hash value remains valid in each Employee.
