How do I implement hash functions in Python?

You can use the built-in hashlib library in Python. Would you like a simple example?

Yes, please provide an example of using hashlib.

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import hashlib

# Create a hash object
hash_object = hashlib.sha256()

# Update the hash object with the bytes of the string
hash_object.update(b'Hello, World!')

# Get the hexadecimal representation of the hash
hex_dig = hash_object.hexdigest()
print(hex_dig)

What other hash functions can I use with hashlib?

You can use various hash functions like MD5, SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. Would you like to see examples for any specific one?
