AP Hash
AP is a hybrid rotative and additive hash function algorithm.
Public Shared Function APHash(str As String) As UInteger
Dim hash As ULong = &HAAAAAAAAUL
Dim i As UInteger = 0
For i = 0 To str.Length - 1
hash = hash Xor If(((i And 1) = 0), (((hash << 7) Xor CByte(AscW(str(CInt(i)))) * (hash >> 3)) And UInteger.MaxValue), ((Not ((hash << 11) + (CByte(AscW(str(CInt(i)))) Xor (hash >> 5)))) And UInteger.MaxValue))
Next
Return hash
End Function
Example
Dim data = "jdfgsdhfsdfsd 6445dsfsd7fg/*/+bfjsdgf%$^"
Dim value = APHash(data)
