Hash tables resolve collisions through two mechanisms,separate chaining or open hashing andopen addressing or closed hashing.Though the first method uses lists (or other fancier data structure) in hash table to maintain more than one entry having same hash values, the other uses complex ways of skipping n elements on collsion.Since, while searching, both mechanisms requires looking up for more entries on collision and Seperate chaining may require lesser number of searches to find the match.What kind of advantages does it have over separate chaining?
What is the advantage of seperate chaining over open addressing?
