way.Record is inserted into memory by using hash function
(division,midsqure,folding,digit analysis)and also records
are retrieved using same hash function

Answer / pavan
Hash Table: is a data structure in which keys are mapped to array positions by a hash function. This table can be searched for an item in O(1) time using a hash function to form an address from the key. The easiest way to conceptualize a hash table is to think of it as an array. When a program stores an element in the array, the elements key is transformed by a hash function that produces array indexes for that array.
Hash Function: is a function which, when applied to the key, produces an integer which can be used as an address in a hash table. The intent is that elements will be relatively randomly and uniformly distributed. In the example above the code for the hash function would look like this (assuming TABLE_SIZE was defined 100):

Hashing is a way to retrieve/store data on a constant time
independent of the value and position of the data present.
The position is a typically a function of the data stored.
