In open addressing with linear probing we must consider how to encode
a. occupies positions
b. available positions
c. all other answers
d. empty positions

B)Available positions

Explanation:Open addressing is the addressing method for the components that are present in the hash table. collision are controlled and managed by this process. The total count of keys is less or equal to the size of table.

Linear probing is the mechanism that helps in controlling of the collision happening by the process of key collection maintenance by encoding of the available positions of the element in the hash table.So,the correct option is option(B).

solution:

this situation is called an ip conflict.

data from a server is sent in small bits called packets. in an ip conflict, some packets will end up in one computer while some other packets will end up in another computer.

so…overall none of the computers get the data as the original message or picture being sent by the server cannot be retrieved with only half the packets. so it will show up as an error.

thus the final answer is d.
