I learned about hashing words in Python, which is a way to convert a word into a unique numerical value. This can be done using the built-in hash() function or by using third-party libraries like hashlib. It’s important to note that hashing is not the same as encryption, as hashing is a one-way function and cannot be reversed. It’s also important to handle collisions, which occur when two different words hash to the same value. This can be done by using techniques like chaining or open addressing. Overall, hashing words in Python is a useful technique for quickly and efficiently storing and retrieving word-based data.
