# Method hash()

Method hash

  ``int` hash(`string` `s`)`
  ``int` hash(`string` `s`, `int` `max`)`

Description

  Return an integer derived from the string `s`. The same string will always hash to the same value, also between processes.

  If `max` is given, the result will be >= 0 and < `max`, otherwise the result will be >= 0 and <= 0x7fffffff.

Note

  This function is provided for backward compatibility reasons.

  This function is byte-order dependant for wide strings.
