Hash Function
A Hash function is a function that maps any kind of data of arbitrary size to fixed-size values. The values returned by the function are called Hash Values or digests. There are many popular Hash Functions such as DJBX33A, MD5, and SHA-256. This post will discuss the key features, implementation, advantages and drawbacks of the Polynomial Rolling Hash Function.
Note that if two strings are equal, their hash values should also be equal. But the inverse need not be true.
