@martin-juul What's your point? this whole thread is entirely derivative, and there's only so many ways to continually add a sequence of numbers and multiply by 31 in a loop. We're talking about one line of code basically. People modified my code and I did not care, because it's far too basic.
@Super-Chama Hmm, that version appears to in fact be noticeably slower (than my for
loop version at least). It could be that either the spread operator or reduce
is slowing things down in batch operations, not sure which. See benchmark: https://jsbench.me/vcljn1em32
I tried to use this method in my project but it didn't seem to spread out adjacent inputs very well:
for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
console.log(hashCode("" + i));
}

I found this awesome single file module that works great though:

Just FYI, another take on the same problem here, with both an old Java-style hash and with a version of @bryc's excellent, more modern cyrb53 hash:

What about a hashCode of an object in JS? Maybe that can only happen in C/C++ land.
You can use JSON.stringify(object) to turn it into a string first, then encode, then when you decode, turn it back into an object with JSON.parse()
@ngp33 there's at least 5 differences. my point is, i didn't copy anyone's code. I would happily give credit if i did. I saw the original implementation and thought reduce will be nicer than loop and faster. so i wrote my own, tested with
console.time
and posted for anyone coming into this thread. but i'll update my comment as precaution
