### sdbm
Hashes the input string into a whole number.
Use `String.split('')` and `Array.reduce()` to create a hash of the input string, utilizing bit shifting.
```js
const sdbm = str => {
let arr = str.split('');
return arr.reduce(
(hashCode, currentVal) =>
(hashCode = currentVal.charCodeAt(0) + (hashCode << 6) + (hashCode << 16) - hashCode),
0
);
};
```
```js
sdbm('name'); // -3521204949
```
