A technique for providing fast direct access to a specific stored of a given value is called:
(A) Fetching
(B) Batch access
(C) Hashing
(D) Tracking
The technique of Hashing involves using the concept of a hash function to convert a key (or value) to an assigned memory space/ location or address where it can be found (usually referred to as a "bucket"). It allows users to directly access the stored data from its assigned location instead of searching through either an index or the entire database; therefore, it allows the user very quick (efficient) and nearly instantaneous access to the stored information.
