Collision Resolution Techniques
There are two types of collision resolution techniques:
- Open Addressing:
- Linear Probing: Search for an empty slot sequentially
- Quadratic Probing: Search for an empty slot using a quadratic function
- Closed Addressing:
- Chaining: Store colliding keys in a linked list or binary search tree at each index
- Cuckoo Hashing: Use multiple hash functions to distribute keys
Hashing in Data Structure
Hashing is a fundamental data structure that efficiently stores and retrieves data in a way that allows for quick access. It involves mapping data to a specific index in a hash table using a hash function that enables fast retrieval of information based on its key. This method is commonly used in databases, caching systems, and various programming applications to optimize search and retrieval operations.
