Marks will be awarded for your choice and implementation of data structures. Even if correct, the use of a single array of all information is not the best possible choice. Using a hashmap (hashtable, dictionary,....) is a better choice than the single array, although there are other good choices, that will also receive higher marks (so, NO, you do not need to use use a hashmap).
