Why is hashing used?

Answer Posted / Akhalesh Kumar

Hashing is used primarily for data structure optimization and security purposes. In optimization, it's used in algorithms like hash tables to provide quick lookups due to its ability to quickly map keys to their respective values. In security, it's used for password storage in hashed form, as a way to protect sensitive information.
