"""
Double hashing is a collision resolving technique in Open Addressed Hash tables.
Double hashing uses the idea of applying a second hash function to key when a collision
occurs. The advantage of Double hashing is that it is one of the best form of probing,
producing a uniform distribution of records throughout a hash table. This technique
does not yield any clusters. It is one of effective method for resolving collisions.
Double hashing can be done using: (hash1(key) + i * hash2(key)) % TABLE_SIZE
Where hash1() and hash2() are hash functions and TABLE_SIZE is size of hash table.
