template<class K >

unsigned int hashes::hash	(	const K &	key,
		int	size
	)

Computes the hash code of a given key (templated), and returns it modulo size for use in HashTable applications.

This function must be specialized in order for one of SCHashTable or LPHashTable to contain keys of the specialized type.

Parameters

key	The key to be hashes.
size	What to modulo the hashcode by.

Returns

The hashcode, modulo size for use as a HashTable index.
