Program Plan Intro

Open Addressing:

  • Open Addressing is a method of finding an open location in the hash table at the time of collision.
  • There are several variations for open addressing such as linear probing, quadratic probing, and double hashing.

Linear Probing:

  • Linear probing is one of the variations of open addressing.
  • When an entry is inserted into a hash table, a collision occurs. At the time of collision, linear probing will start finding the next available location sequentially.
  • Linear probing will look at the consecutive cells which begin at index k.
  • Starting from the initial index, linear probing will add an increment of 1 to k to define a search sequence.
