[Question] Specification of the get method for HW 6 (Hashset)

[thekioskman]

I am a bit confused about the specification of the get method. Just to clarify is it a set/get coupled together? Meaning we want to create the entry if it doesn't exist and return it, and just return it if it exists.

Yes you are right.

Also, I don't we learned about the guard and pinning threads in class yet. Are there any recommended resources to learn what pinning a thread does?

Although, I recommend first working on the hw without worrying about memory reclamation, then fixing any leaks if nessecary.
