Hashes the input string into a whole number.
- Use `String.prototype.split('')` and `Array.prototype.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
```
