Hash Function CityHash C++

[Farrukh12]

Can Anyone provide me a link to where I can find the C++ code for CityHash fucntion.

Do you know how to use google?

[Farrukh12]

If I found it on Google I would not have posted it here.

[cire]

Well, that's interesting. The very first link when you google takes you to a code repository with a C++ implementation.

Mind Sharing it?

What do you mean by 'CityHash'?

[Farrukh12]

CIthHash is a hash function like Pearson hashing.
it maps a string to a number.

Ah... I want to know some hash algorithms. Then I'll put all (all in one!) into a function. But, why do you know this hash? (I'm curious, hehe...)

[Farrukh12]

No particular reason, any hash function will do as long as it fast and does not produce too much collisions

Why not just use std::hash<std::string>?
There is an example here: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/hash
