Hash Table With Linear Probing and Its Basic Implementation
by Hashing is a technique used to search an specific item in large group of items. Hashing uses hash table to perform search in an constant O(1) time. Hashing uses hash functions to fill items in a hash table. To search, each key is passed into the same hash function which computes an index which provides the corresponding value location.
