Hashing Questions Medium
The time complexity of searching in a hash table is typically O(1), or constant time. This means that regardless of the size of the hash table, the time taken to search for an element remains constant. This is achieved by using a hash function to map the key to an index in the hash table, allowing for direct access to the desired element. However, in the worst-case scenario, where there are many collisions and multiple elements are stored at the same index, the time complexity can degrade to O(n), where n is the number of elements in the hash table.
