Hashing algorithm converts a primary key value into a record address.
Answer: A
Correct answer: True
A hashing algorithm computes an address directly from the key value, so a record is found in one access with no index to traverse. The price is that the records are then in no useful order, so sequential processing by key becomes expensive, and that collisions must be handled when two keys hash to the same address.
