I still do not understand why sorting is not needed. If we sort all the books according to the publisher name, wouldn't it be faster to count how many books are pulished by each publisher? The answer states we need a "counter", but when you go through the entries for each of the keys, don't we need to have 30 counters in total? (each counter is associated with one pulbisher. In other words, when a book pulisher matches with one of the keys, shouldn't it increment the counter variable associated with that pulisher?)
