This algorithm was created for sdbm (a public-domain reimplementation of ndbm) database library.
It was found to do well in scrambling bits, causing better distribution of the keys and fewer splits.
This algorithm was created for sdbm (a public-domain reimplementation of ndbm)
database library.
It was found to do well in scrambling bits, causing better distribution of the keys
and fewer splits.
It also happens to be a good general hashing function with good distribution.
The actual function (pseudo code) is:
for i in i..len(str):
hash(i) = hash(i - 1) * 65599 + str[i];
What is included below is the faster version used in gawk. [there is even a faster, duff-device version]
The magic constant 65599 was picked out of thin air while experimenting with different constants.

The magic constant 65599 was picked out of thin air while experimenting with
different constants.
It turns out to be a prime.
This is one of the algorithms used in berkeley db (see sleepycat) and elsewhere.
