Convert a sentence to integer
Assuming i have a string that says
string version = "Version 1.0.2.3"
I want to convert this to an integer or number like "1232454982394". This should change based on the text i input. While one option is to convert to ascii value or unicode, i have to iterate through each character. Wondering if there is an easier way - like a one line method that can accomplish this.
The below one works. but i am looking for something better
string version = "Version 1.0.2.3";
string finalOutput = "";
foreach (char c in version)
{
finalOutput = finalOutput + ((int)c).ToString();
}
Console.WriteLine(finalOutput);
// Output is 861011141151051111103249464846504651
One way is to use the GetHashCode method.
string version = "Version 1.0.2.3";
var hashedValue = version.GetHashCode();
From MSDN
A hash code is a numeric value that is used to insert and identify an object in a hash-based collection such as the Dictionary(Of TKey, TValue) class, the Hashtable class, or a type derived from the DictionaryBase class. The GetHashCode method provides this hash code for algorithms that need quick checks of object equality.
