Hash Functions

You will be writing $2$ different hash functions $($at least$)$ for the purposes of comparing their efficiency. You may use any hash function you$$d like as long as they$$re not ridiculously bad $($you should not hash on just the first letter of the word, you should not hash every word to the same index, etc.$).$ You are aiming to have as few collisions as possible, so remember that your array could be quite large, and be wary of the challenges of hashing string keys and the range of numbers your hash function is able to produce. Additionally, your hash functions should be different enough from each other; you shouldn$$t have one be adding the values of the first $3$ characters and the second be adding the values of the first $4$ characters. Feel free to combine some of the various hash functions described in class, but try to limit the number of operations to some sort of constant.
