## Description:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`hash` provides a way to hash binary data, i.e. produce a shorter value,
|
||
|
|
that is highly content dependent, so even slightly different content will
|
||
|
|
produce widely different hashes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hash functions are useful for implementing maps, caches etc.
