Like numbers, strings can also be used as keys in a hash functions. A hash function for any string s = abc can be defined as:

Hash(abc) = (a + b + c) % tableSize

Consider the following ASCII table for different alphabets and use the hash function to create a hash table for the following 13 grocery items using separate chaining.

Onion, tomato, cabbage, carrot, okra, melon, potato, banana, olive, salt, cucumber, mushroom, orange. You can show the table as the following diagram.

Hint: For string abc.

hash(abc) = (97+98+99) % tablesize = x; where x ranges from 0 to tablesize -
