Introduced is a hash coding method based on fixed-point division rather than multiplication
or logical operations. This new method allows the hash table to have almost any length. Also
a new method of handling collisions is discussed. Known as quadratic search, this method is
faster than random search and free from the" clusters" that build up with a linear search.
