Difficulty: Medium
About this MCQ
This Medium Data Structures MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Which of the following best names the concept in which a collision resolution technique in hashing that searches sequentially for the next open slot in the table?”
The accepted answer is A. Linear probing. Linear probing is the person body or term that satisfies Which of the following best names the concept in which a collision resolution technique in hashing that searches sequentially for the next open slot in the table option A Option B Dequeue does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Linear probing Option C Adjacency matrix does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Linear probing Remaining alternatives Load factor fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Linear probing is identified Data Structures questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations Data Structures recall of this distinction is a regular.
- A. Linear probing ✓
