RS Hash
RS is a hash function algorithm.
unsigned int RSHash(char* str, unsigned int length) {
unsigned int b = 378551;
unsigned int a = 63689;
unsigned int hash = 0;
unsigned int i = 0;
for (i = 0; i < length; str++, i++)
{
hash = hash * a + (*str);
a = a * b;
}
return hash;
}
Example
char* data = "jdfgsdhfsdfsd 6445dsfsd7fg/*/+bfjsdgf%$^";
unsigned int value = RSHash(data, 40);
