# NSStringFromHashTable(_:)

Returns a string describing the hash table’s contents.

```
func NSStringFromHashTable(_ table: NSHashTable<AnyObject>) -> String
```

## Return Value

A string describing `table`’s contents.

## Discussion

The function iterates over the elements of `table`, and for each one appends the string returned by the `describe` callback function. If `NULL` was specified for the callback function, the hexadecimal value of each pointer is added to the string.
