FNV Hash

FNV is a hash function algorithm.



									Public Shared Function FNVHash(str As String) As UInteger
	Const fnv_prime As UInteger = &H811C9DC5UI
	Dim hash As ULong = 0
	Dim i As UInteger = 0

	For i = 0 To str.Length - 1
		hash = (hash * fnv_prime) And UInteger.MaxValue
		hash = hash Xor CByte(AscW(str(CInt(i))))
	Next

	Return hash
End Function
								


Example

									Dim data = "jdfgsdhfsdfsd 6445dsfsd7fg/*/+bfjsdgf%$^"
Dim value = FNVHash(data)
								


Output
