i got a little lost in the explanation of the different has examples. it’s easier for me to work through examples with real numbers. i guess i could actually write down the examples in the book and work through them, but i just try to read through them and then i get confused. i think i’m also a little confused about what a hash function is. i probably just need to see an example and it will make sense.
so i was a little lost in the reading, so i hope what i’m saying is right. whenever we have learned about these different systems, we’ve always been working with modular arithmetic, and i’ve always wondered how we would account for two distinct digits that produce answers that are equivalent modulo a number n. i feel like this is the first time the book has addressed this idea that there should only be one right answer. i just find that interesting.
