In the previous video, we explored quadratic probing as an alternative to linear probing to handle hash table collisions more effectively. Quadratic probing uses a quadratic function to find the next available slot, reducing clustered collisions compared to linear probing. While it offers better spacing for collided keys and leverages CPU cache, it is not immune to clustered collisions and lacks the same level of cache optimization as linear probing. Understanding these nuances helps in deciding between linear and quadratic probing for hashtable implementations.
