Thread: Hash function

Hi to all!

I want to make a hash table using a hash function.

I do:

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#define array_size 100

struct hello {

char *name;
struct hello *next;

};

int number = 0;

int hash_function(char *name,int number)

{

int x = number % array_size;

number++;

return x;



}


int main() {

int l = hash_function("Good morning",number);
printf("%d\n",l);

}

Has anyone to suggest me another hash funtion using the char *name as a key and not an integer like number, in order an index of the hash table to be produced?
Because the one i have made it's not a hash funtion
