hello lads
we've just started talking about hashing functions and hashmaps in my DS&A class
so, /g/, please help me understand hashing
How is it used? What does it do? What the fuck is a bucket? etc
Not your personal tutor

If hashing is difficult to understand you should probably switch majors

You're going about this all wrong, delete this thread and make a new one but post the wrong information for example, "hey /g/ learning about hashing in my DS&A class, I can't believe how simple it is, it's basically just like checksums" Watch Cunningham's law have faggots like these

flying out of the woodwork to correct you and in turn provide you with the correct information.
hashing is to data as fingerprint is to person

If op did that I'd just post kys. /g/ and the rest of 4chan have become the lowest common denominator so much so that it's not even worth bothering correcting faggots
