Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A hash function is specifically designed to map data values into numerical values, which are then used to index data structures such as hash tables. Recursive functions are functions that repeatedly call themselves to solve a problem, and key functions are functions used in sorting algorithms to determine the order of elements. Neither of these types of functions are used to map data values into numbers.
