[C++] Another Hashing Method. Ugh, I know.

[Joe]

The only reason I try to create methods of my own are just for the experience. I learned quite a few things by doing this (about C++).

I just noticed, in a string with a length divisible by 4, the xor'ing will cancel itself out. 

Sidoh -- It depends on what the assignment was.  I usually mark the code itself, which would do well (except for the fact that he's using a string where a char[] would do .  The actual algorithm is rather flawed. 

And Joe -- there's better ways to learn, but as long as you're having fun, oh well

A little laugh for you all, Warrior had me looping through argv using WHILE, so I didn't know the UBound. I just waited for it to be null.

Code: [Select]

string toHash;
int i = 1;
while(argv[i] != NULL) {
  toHash =+ argv[i];
}
When argc holds the UBound.

Code: [Select]

char ignorantProgramming[] = "Lots of headache\x0";

That was of course assuming you had tried the previous (more practical) methods and failed.

Also nice job not incrementing 'i', retard.

You don't need a \x0 at the end of a string.  " and " imply that the string ends with a \0.

RoMi asked that, not me.  Silly.
