Chained allocation is a method used in data structures, particularly in hash tables, to handle collisions. When two keys hash to the same index, instead of replacing the existing entry, the new entry is added to a linked list (or chain) at that index. This allows multiple entries to coexist at the same hash index, facilitating the retrieval of all associated data. While it can handle collisions effectively, it may lead to increased search times if the chains become long.
