Hey guys!
I have been trying to implement the dictionary(english-english) using hashing which will of course be having words stored. the problem I am currently facing in the insertion is the hash key collisions. I can generate the random hash key to every new word but when retrieving it will be impossible to retrieve a particular word. So if you guys could suggest me the formula to generate the UNIQUE hash key to every new word.

Regards :)
