What is Hashing? Hashing Algorithm, Hash Collisions & Hash Functions

Hashing - A very interesting topic which lays the foundation of many computer science topics. From being used in solving algorithm questions in interviews to system design concepts - hashing is used everywhere.

Hashing has a variety of real life use cases like Cryptography, Blockchain, Password Management, Consistent Hashing and so on.
In this video - we will discuss the foundation of hashing and we will learn about the basics of hashing and hash functions. We will also discuss Hash Collisions along with some code examples.
