What is chaining in hashing?

Chaining in hashing refers to a collision resolution technique where multiple elements with the same hash value are stored in linked lists or chains. In this approach, each element is hashed to a specific index in the hash table, and if there is a collision, the element is appended to the linked list at that index. This allows for efficient storage and retrieval of elements with the same hash value, as they can be accessed by traversing the linked list.
