So I'm trying to return the hashcode value of a string using an algorithm:



My question is, how do I break up the string into individual chars so I can.

This is what I did:



Is this correct?

if you're referring to how you treat string like an array and iterate over it, then yes. if you're referring to taking the sum, then no. i dont know why you're asking this since you can easily print it out and confirm if it's the ascii value. iirc it's unicode, but whatever.

/edit why did you capitalize String? unless you have a good reason, variables should be lower case

You don't need to cast it to int, it will get promoted anyway.

Yeah it was a typo, and completely forgot strings are considered an array of characters lol...

Fixed it anyways

Just a quick question


Say you wanted to either get user input from standard input, or from a file.

How would you determine which one they want to use?

usually via command line flags
