""" This algorithm (k=33) was first reported by Dan Bernstein many years ago in comp.lang.c Another version of this algorithm (now favored by Bernstein) uses xor: hash(i) = hash(i - 1) * 33 ^ str[i]; First Magic constant 33: It has never been adequately explained. It's magic because it works better than many other constants, prime or not. Second Magic Constant 5381: 1. odd number 2. prime number 3. deficient number 4. 001/010/100/000/101 b source: http://www.cse.yorku.ca/~oz/hash.html """ def djb2(s: str) -> int: """ Implementation of djb2 hash algorithm that is popular because of it's magic constants. >>> djb2('Algorithms') 3782405311 >>> djb2('scramble bits') 1609059040 """ hash = 5381 for x in s: hash = ((hash << 5) + hash) + ord(x) return hash & 0xFFFFFFFF
