Hash Table with Chaining
A Hash Table with Chaining handles collisions by storing multiple key-value pairs at the same index using a linked list (or other collection). When two keys hash to the same bucket, the new entry is appended to the chain at that index. This approach is simple to implement and performs well when the load factor is kept reasonable.
Use Cases
- •Symbol tables in compilers and interpreters
- •Database indexing with hash-based access
- •Caching systems with fast key-value lookups
