SDBM Hash
SDBM is a has function algorithm.
Public Shared Function SDBMHash(str As String) As UInteger
Dim hash As ULong = 0
Dim i As UInteger = 0
For i = 0 To str.Length - 1
hash = ((CByte(AscW(str(CInt(i)))) + (hash << 6) + (hash << 16) - hash) And UInteger.MaxValue)
Next
Return hash
End Function
Example
Dim data = "jdfgsdhfsdfsd 6445dsfsd7fg/*/+bfjsdgf%$^"
Dim value = SDBMHash(data)
