In hashing, collision resolution is carried out by close addressing. Which of the following is close addressing technique – I. Buckets (for contiguous storage) II. Chains (for linked storage) Correct Answer Only II

Concept:

Hashing is a technique which uses a hash function to map a value with a particular location. Sometimes,

two values have same memory location which means collision. Collision resolution is carried by close

addressing.

Explanation:

Close addressing is known as open hashing. In this, key is stored in the bucket to which it is hashed to.

Separate data structure is used during a collision for each bucket.

Techniques of close addressing technique:

1) Chaining using linked list

2) Chaining using dynamic arrays

3) By using self - balancing search trees
