How to Avoid Collision in Hashing?

An alternative method for handling the collision problem is to allow each slot to hold a reference to a collection (or chain) of items. Chaining allows many items to exist at the same location in the hash table. When collisions happen, the item is still placed in the proper slot of the hash table.

What can be the techniques to avoid collision in hash table?

We can avoid collision by making hash function random, chaining method and uniform hashing. 7.

How are collisions handled in case of hashing?

Handling the collisions

In the small number of cases, where multiple keys map to the same integer, then elements with different keys may be stored in the same "slot" of the hash table. ... But there may be more than one element which should be stored in a single slot of the table.
