MD5
NAME
md5 - Calculates the md5 hash of a string.
SYNOPSIS
md5(string)
DESCRIPTION
This is a cryptographic hash injective function. It is used to transform a string into a 32-characters hexadecimal number. This function calculates the message digest-5 of a string. It is a cryptographic hash function used to verify data integrity. A hash function is used to map digital data of some size to digital data with a fixed size. When cryptographic hash function is encountered, it is almost impossible to recreate the input data from the output data, the hash value. It produces a 128-bit hash value.
PARAMETERS
- string
- The input string.
RETURN
- It returns the hash as a 32-characters hexadecimal number.
EXAMPLES
Note: In the followings examples, the _ between the { should be removed to make it work.
