👉 Hashing is a process used in computer science and information theory to convert data into a fixed-size format that can be easily stored or transmitted. The goal of hashing is to map each element in a set, such as an array or a list, into a unique value, which can then be accessed by other elements within the set. This process allows for efficient storage and retrieval of large amounts of data, making it useful for tasks like encryption, indexing, and searching.
