Do you know why it's a good hash? Can you prove the polynomial you use is prime? If you go to 64 bits, can you provide your own polynomial? CRC is a simple algorithm to implement, implementation is not all there is to programming. >Second, I believe only managers are interested > in "Class-Responsibility-Collaborator" cards -- fancy acronym, which > they can impress other (low-level) managers with, but (1) it's so > trivial as to be completely useless, and (2) it's *worse* than useless > because it's a completely action-centered approach. Urgh. So? That means it is not a legitamte question on a OO quiz? There are many aspects to OO that I don't agree with. That does not mean they are not legitamate consepts ( as concepts). --------------------- Thaddeus L. Olczyk
